As much as I hate putting miles on this car, if you have to drive 90 minutes on the interstate to work every day (and back) there isn't a better option.
Hopefully soon I will have a shorter commute again.
almost 100,000 miles since I got her in 2007, what a ride!:burnout:

If you keep your fluids fresh it'll go a lot more. If you haven't replaced axles, axle bearings, and seals (watch out for bad seals! ;) ) you should have these on your radar..

Whow! I don't drive that much, but it is HARD not to drive mine EVERYDAY. However, I force myself into driving my old Chevy pickup a couple days a week to help keep the mileage down.:rolleyes:

Congrats on the achievement, If you're going Southwest on 44, maybe I'll see you sometime on your commute, I drive a couple times a week from Springfield to Down Stream Casino.

I'm almost at 158,000.
I need to replace the upper control arm and ball joint, a fuel filter,
and my rear passenger door just broke the regulator.

I had the axle recall done 90,000 miles ago, so its due for a fluid change there. the trans fluid is changed every 50k with full synthetic, and the engine every 7k with mobil 1. coolant was flushed when I got it (gold) and again two years ago. I have 90k on the brakes, but they are still at 50%, and the rotors (Baer d/s) still good as well. runs like a top, I expect to get 400k before having to do anything radical.

I did get the pleasure of pacing with another black on my morning commute a few days ago, Mt. Vernon to the I-71 exit. it was really neat.

90 minute drive everyday :eek: im annoyed with my 19 mile drive to school 4 times a week (mostly because of the retarded ass Oklahoma drivers)
congrats on the 185k. i hope mine makes it that far but mine makes over 1 quart of oil disappear every 3k miles

Is there an "Axle Recall" still around? Being that the gears have been changed, I would assume that the seals have already been replaced. :dunno:

185,000 !! Man, I've never had a vehicle go past 135,000. Not that I don't want to its just I was in service and field training & being deployed kept miles lower and the past 15 years or so I've had multiple vehicles at once to spread the miles across. Had several DD's Taurus or Sables that I passed down to my daughter around 120,000-130,000 then I get another one but that won't happen with the Marauder.
