175,000 miles

WOW_FCTR · 03-04-2010, 07:24 AM

I have now driven 175,000 miles in my SSR......

I've got new Hankook tires on the back and they seem to really stick even in wet conditions.

I also have new brakes and rotors, so I am ready to head to Maggie Valley again this year and take on the Tail of the Dragon one more time

Dragon2U · 03-04-2010, 07:37 AM

WOW!!!!!!!!!!! Sounds like you sure have had a few miles to enjoy the ride

Hope to see you in MV

I DON'T THINK ANYBODY CAN STAND UP TO THE PLATE WITH THOSE NUMBERS.

I may be coming alone....so there might be a seat available for a drive on the Tail.

Loved that episode

I figure that I have driven over 600,000 miles in my life (and almost all of that in Chevy's....but that is only because I like Camaros and SSRs

) I am sure that I will put 200k on it before I hand it over to my son

Only about 164,000 miles for me.

Jgrden · 03-16-2010, 06:33 PM

If he stayed still I could catch him by driving One hundred, forty one thousand miles. This is a heck of a lot more important than the number of post counts or girl friends. Congratulations.

Let's see. It works out to 1.8 miles a day. In eight thousand, two hundred and twenty two days I might make it. That is if he throws his keys on the mantel and leaves them there.

Congradulation. My guess is 200,000 by August, 2010.

I am averaging a little less than 30,000 miles a year now.
That is 82 miles a day.
My commute to work is about 35 miles one way.
One of my girlfriends (

) lives 50 miles away.
My son lives 15 miles away.
