    I like seeing how many have just faded away. 3 years ago, that VX was closing on 200k. Where is it now? The Proton with the painted cladding.....did this thing just slip into the ether?? We need to start tracking these cars, now...learn from the past. Did that blue one ever turn up??? How do you hide a blue VX??

    i just rolled over 5000 miles since i bought her in april and it had 65,175 when i got her. some thing like 70,175 and only did an oil change on her....
    :bgwgf course i have tinted the windows, removed the backseat and emblems, put the roof rack back on, strapped my full size spare where the backseat used to be and put new tyres on (for no real reason). upcoming plans include; reverse camera showing through a motorized dvd capable face, lambo doors, sunroof, brand new black and yellow leather seats, blackout all lights, replace those little lame lights up front with little projectors and those reflectors in back with brake lights of some sort. oh, LED everything i can and add those blue headlights i saw a post about recently.

    97,000 for me, 4-5 CV's, a rear axle bearing (that took out ABS sensor $$$$)and a couple shocks. Been running oversize tires since 25,000 miles, supercharged at 40,000, 3.5" lift and 33's since 50,000.

    Also a few exhaust wo's where the flange has popped off the manifold (both sides)

    I would say that is pretty damn solid considering the driving that it has done.

    Mine has around 105000 miles and is dead as a doornail.

    I think the previous owner ran it out of oil and did a quick bearing job to get it sold, which is why it blew up on me only 8k later. I'll know more when I get the engine out and pull the bearing caps. I know the engine has been out before and am pretty sure it had some bearings replaced since I found a used thrust bearing under the hood.

    Fortunately, the replacement engine w/ 54000 miles should be here soon so I can get it back on the road.
