I continue to beat everybody else for the LOWEST miles / age title... purchased November 7th 2003, today I've got only 6600 miles on the car.
If I continue with this pace, I won't wear out the 50K miles warranty period in the next 20 years... pity that this period expires after 4 years

Lambert (the sheepish lion) - if you've seen the cartoon
Any major problems at 100k? Like major engine problems.

I like to drive mine too - when I'm not traveling for business. Unfortunately, nowadays that's rather rare for me.

^^^ Yes, I'd like to know if the high mileage people have had any major problems with the car yet. I hope this one doesn't turn out like the FD.
