Just turned 100K miles!

Yep, just turned the big digit on the odo.

When I bought the car last September it had 81,800 on it... can you tell I do a lot of driving?


BTW... when it passed the 100K mark I was doing 115mph on my favorite stretch of extremely rural country two-lane blacktop. The Koni/GCs are solid as a rock at high speed.

Earlier today we took it out for a little testing on gravel... same story, solid and smooth. We even bounced the car violently a couple of times (inadvertently!) over some large washboarding in a corner and it soaked it up.

Two thumbs up.


Thanks for being here, guys.

Congrats, Porter. In my opinion, 100k miles on an SVX is a numerical milestone, but not one of much significance. Mine now has 133k on it and is still a superb car.

Here's hoping for 100k more!

Me too!!!

...well...mine registers in KM so I have just under 161,000km which is roughly 100,000 miles. Nice coincidence. Mine had 112,000km on it when I bought it over 2 years ago.

100 K

My 1994 Laguna blue SVX LSI recently just turned 100 K as well. To celebrate I gave my car a full tune up with Bosch Platinum Plus 4 Spark Plugs. It rocks in the SVX.

No! We thought about it 10 minutes beforehand and 10 minutes after but those miles in between went really quick!

I am a pessimistic optimistic. I think the worst is going to happen, that way when it does, i don't feel as bad, but if the best happens, i am twice as happy.
