4. Quite well!

I'm lucky enough to have a gearhead buddy who works on it for me. Now that I finally have a job with a living wage, I've been having Doug do a whole bunch of long-overdue work to the car. As such, it's running better than ever! :bounce:

2. What kind of car?

We have a Geo Prizm has 220K and it is still running like a champ-over 30 mpg in the mountains. Hope you have the same luck with cars we've had.

6. 1987 Plymouth Grand Fury.

Its original owner was the world-famous little old lady who hardly ever drove it. After she died, her son wanted to get rid of the car, so I bought it for $300 in 2000. I had about $500 worth of work done to it. When all was said and done, I spent less than $1,000 and owned a car with only 62,000 miles!

7. In the summer of 2001, I drove 1,200 miles round-trip from...

...East Hartford, Connecticut to Chapel Hill, North Carolina. I've also taken it to Montreal and back twice, a 700-mile round trip.

11. Is this the first car

that you've had that hit 100,000?

[NightTrain]

13. No. It's my fourth car, and thr fourth one that's hit 100K.

I believe in getting the maximum service from my automobiles!

12. Did you pull over and drink a beer?

My friend did that in college when he rolled over to 200k and a cop pulled up behind him and busted him for having an open container in the car. :)
