Wife's car sitting in driveway at 249,998 miles-taking daughter to V Ball practice at 545 in morning will push it over the 250K mark.

 

FWD, non-turbo MT 4 door. Have owned since 97(with 110K miles), have done normal maintainence stuff for a car of that age/miles: Brakes, radiator, struts, clutches, A/C work, CV's, muffler, timing belts/water pump. Plus regular fluid/filter changes and plugs/wires. No engine or transmission work other than valve cover gaskets.

 

Not super pretty but at least no rust problems in Texas, and it starts and drives everyday. Just passed emission test on second try, each year I say "well we'll keep it for one more year-or deer, whichever comes first"

Congrats! I hear ya about the deer thing...here in PA in the fall they are all over..
