As far as abuse? Believe me, I ain’t gonna say it wasn’t. But, in terms of the extent of the abuse, it’s shockingly clean. The control arms, struts, and shocks were replaced about 30,000 miles ago, and steering shaft was replaced the week before I took delivery. The engine was replaced at 100k (And there’s 160 on it now, although 20 of which is mine), and the transmission serviced 10k ago. Yea, she was a marked Columbus, Ohio car, but she lived an (Realitively) easy life. Essentially, under the skin (Which with it’s nicks and dents, I actually happen to like. I think it adds character) she’s got the heart and soul of a new car. A tough one too. Drove off a wall in a dark WVU parking lot once, and recently got into a shoving match with a bus shelter. (And won). But the curb through sucker punch at me. So if anything, I’m harder on her than the cops ever were.
Oh. And no rust!
You probably have half of my weight too…
