Bought my 92 RS with 63,xxx miles, sold it a year later with 66,xxx miles.

Bought my 89 IROC with 83,xxx miles a little over a year ago, now I have 92,xxx on it. Once I repaint the nose, you would never guess it had that many miles. The interior is mint and theres no rust.

i've got 107 something...forget the exact number.

i keep trying to get more, but michigan weather doesn't help.

if you don't drive it why own it. i know i bought mine to drive it and enjoy it to the fullest. although i will admit i try to avoid heavy rain storms and absolute all snow; other than that you can't get me out of my car!

i had a neighbor who has a 1-le, raves all the time about the 7,000 low miles on his car. that's 7,000 where it's been exposed to things so it'si far from mint. just enjoy the car.

135K on my 88 T/A. I agree with Kandied, if you own it drive it. I love driving my T/A, so I do. Bought it with 131K. Only has her for 3.5 months. I think that these engines last a while. I won't ever own a car that I will only drive on certain days.

When I got the RS: 88,000

Gas mileage is getting better with age. These 305s are some long lasting engines! I've heard of 5-600,000 miles without any real problems.

When I got the GTA: 80,000
GTA now, almost 4 years later: 120,000
Needs spark plugs, wires, and a couple sensors and it will run like new.

... how would you tell how many miles you have if the number of digits only go up so high

IE: how would you tell if something like

54,321 miles
from 154,321 miles

if there are only 5 digits?

I dont know of a way other than a car fax report, or something that shows services and how many miles it had on it when the services were done.

Well I got you all beat. 256XXX+ miles on my 82 Bird. Had only 13 on it when I brought it new. Yes it in the shop being rebuild after suffering server damage from a women who ran a stop sign.

The Bird is power by a 350 Tune Port Injected V8 which was installed 4 1/2 years ago. The engine has only 52,XXX miles on it. The engine and turn-port setup is all GM orginal componants. Computer turning by Fual Injection Specialists.

All parts are in

Some inprovements are being made
245/50 VR16 BF Goodrich Comp TA Touring tires.
New 16 inch AT wheels
Sub Frame connectors.
All new bushings, suspenson componants. etc.
SLP 3 inch exhust system. New SLP Y pipe.
Changing gear box from 3 1/2 turns to 2 1/2 truns lock to lock.

This car has absolutly no rust. It was in mint condition before the accident. She was hit in the right-front wheel area.

77XXX on my 88 GTA, still runs like a charm. Sucks that the paint didn't hold up though.

8XXX on my 01 Formula, more money in mods than miles

If I counted the Toyota I have, I beat you all, it has 320,000 on it its an 83 tercel 4X4 with a 5 speed and extra low gear so its really a 6 speed. The car was owned by my grandmothers uncle he drove it till he was 82 that was about 2 years ago ( had a stroke had to quit work as a mechanic) So he gave the car to me to use or trade in or sell for the firebird ( yet to be bought, hopefully monday or tuesday * crosses fingers*)

I don't know why people store cars like that, I say if you have it, enjoy it. I drive mine as much as possible, except for snow and heavy rain (leaky t-tops).

Hey what kind of seats are those in the hawk? I like that rollcage in there as well.
EDIT: Recaro I should have looked harder lol, do you know the model of those seats though?
