One that I was wondering would actually come...

But my 92 turned 184k miles today!



Still running great. No stumbles or vibrations. Gotta love it!

Congrats. My 90 has around 140k and 91 around 160k miles. The rate I drive them it will take me 20 years to catch up to you. I'll have 184,000 posts before I have 184,000 miles.

It's amazing... the stumble has vanished... I have had a couple of off feeling things, but I wonder if I am being
hypersensitive to it??

Tommy - You need to drive them more. Just for the helluva it.

True daily driver - helps them add up. We parked it and drove the (AWD) Jaguar for all of four days this last winter.

hm... lightweights...

I bought my 92 in June 2000. It had 39xxx on it then. At the time, I lived near Dover and worked in Wilmington, DE. That was 50 miles one way; 500 miles a week! I did that for another 15 months. Add in four trips to FL, another 8k miles and a few other events and places and the miles add up.

Here in CA, I worked in Pasadena and then Irwindale for a year. That was either 75 or 100 miles a-day and that adds up, too. My current commute is about 13 miles one way, or 26 a day. Not bad... and it's quick. The 110 freeway is usually pretty ok for me. I get on the 91 freeway and my time on it is so quick... I can get to work in 15 minutes barring any incidence on the freeway. I prefer to leave earlier, of course, but if I am behind, I know I can make it in 15.

And since the vibrations and shudders have all gone away, the Vette hasn't felt this good in EONS! It is sooo smooth (the new tires are real quiet!) and just glides over the pavement. One day last week, I actually hit 90 and it felt like it used to. Amazing.

A co-worker has a newer Saturn Sky Turbo, quick little buggers and 2 weeks ago I was trying to pass him on the access road to our building when I got hit with one of those "misses"... yea, that takes the edge off!

I then tried to recover, only to get hit again! The Saturn ate me...

This past week... no more misses... heh heh heh... the old girl still has some balls... Ate that Saturn and spit it out. I launch very gently, always have, but really have to thanks to the crappy pavement... but that torque got traction and he was in my tail light. He only passed me when I let up to clear a vehicle parked on the shoulder.
