> [@Mike93](#): > > 300k would be nice…but I’m not sure I want to still be driving a SHO for the next 4 years. I’m only sticking with this car since it’s long paid for and really doesn’t take up much of my time keeping in going down the road. > > Most of the car has original parts. Everything internal to the motor is, the only accessory I’ve had to deal with was an alternator and a starter. When I bought the car at 175K is was stock. Soon after I had swapped in a manual transmission (originally an auto), lowering spring with aftermarket struts, and upped the front brakes to 11.6" rotors and calipers from a 96+ Taurus. So a majority of the upgrades I did to the car have been with used stock parts and from new stock replacement parts. 4 Years :lol: I drive 60k a year, it would take little over 1 year for me to get a car from 225k to 300k and I’m VERY abusive on my car I drive 80% city and red-line at least once a day BUT am anal about oil changes (like pulled over on the side of the road to do an oil change on a road trip.) Full synthetic every 5k no matter what, to me that’s more important then putting fuel in the car. it seems like your car serves you well, if you can keep it from rotting out I say drive it for 4 years. and I love SHO interior so cumfy… ---

Well, I finally reached the goal of 250K…since last stopping in have replaced struts, brakes, steering rack, tie rods, and a battery. Long overdue…but I’m ready to ditch the car once the weather turns and get into something newer/nicer/quieter/etc. ![http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k21/deener50/030511160012.jpg](http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k21/deener50/030511160012.jpg) ![http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k21/deener50/2011-03-05_16-10-45_886.jpg](http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k21/deener50/2011-03-05_16-10-45_886.jpg) …and when not in winter mode ![http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k21/deener50/SHO/Ohio.jpg](http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k21/deener50/SHO/Ohio.jpg) ---

Thanks, but this car offers no pleasure when driving it. Purely transportation for me that has cost nearly nothing to maintain, that’s why I’ve kept it going this long. I think I’ll be okay parting with it:) > [@TrueBlue](#): > > ☹ Bro if I had the loot sitting somewhere I would proudly take this off your hands.
