    No wonder I burn thru tires so fast.

    yeah, that can't be right, I know LDub had something very similar to mine (76k) when I visited him in late 2010...so he's prob in the 80,000 -85,000 range now. Nope, Mark is our all-time leader....with no one that I can think of even close....I can't even think of anybody else over 200k...

    Drive on Mark, Drive on...and on...and on....and on...!!!!!

    Sorry...

    I thought it was made clear, that I was using Marks VX (in the speedo pic) as an example of what maintenance as "near religion" can yield...

    With big tire disease factored in, (been roll'n 33's or larger, for more than 1/2 the time I've owned her) I'd guess that I'm due for a timing belt this summer...
