    Remember; Jo, since ORW has oversized tires on it that it has actually traveled more than what is indicated on the odometer. I suppose there is a mathimatical conversion formula to calculate it somehow to determine what the true mileage is.

    There's a local fella with an '01 Foxfire that's been on a few corners up for sale and IIRC it has 14K miles. If interested I could track it down for you and send contact info if still available. When I spoke with him I got the impression he was using coke as a dynamic tire balancing media based on pricing.

    My engine has 2,373 miles on it






























    ...in my VX... different engine in it... lol... actually just before the mini meet for austin... I turned over 111,111 miles on the vehicle... the engine had less than 100k on it when put in, I think it was 50-60k or something like that ('02 Axiom engine)
    We sit together, my VX and I, until only the VX remains.

    Yup Riff Raff..this was covered in a thread a bit less than couple of years ago when the ORW turned 18.

    IIRC , actual rolling test showed a difference of just under 9%...

    So given larger tires were fitted at about 13500 miles...

    ..'real' miles are at aprox 20100


    Gotta say...a Foxfire with 14,000 is amazing...coke or not... !!

    I chit-chat with the owner of the 2001 Pearl VX #1455 (4 numbers after my Proton) quite often on a regular basis. The "Pearl" currently has over 67K miles on it and is NOT for sale (for those who are wondering).
