    80,000 and counting...

    Well I hit 80,000 miles today! It was a good feeling that the ol' pro is doing so great and has kept me happy for this long. The only bad part about hitting the 80,000 mark was that I didn't have my seat belt on at the time.... and a cop was sitting right there waiting... He pulled me over.... asked if I knew what "Click It or Ticket" was... I said yes (wearing my seat belt all of a sudden) and to my surprise.... He knew me from somewhere....and said I guess since I know you I will let you off with a warning. Man, i never get breaks when it comes to tickets..... Just wish I knew who he was! Oh well.... I guess all cops aren't too bad.

    I hit 80,000 last week...right before I crashed it Ran great too. All I had to do was change the coil over my #2 cyl and it ran like the day I drove her off the lot.

      Dude you didn't know that it was "Click it or Ticket" week? It was in the News Argus, online at least. I never forget to but my seatbelt on, except when getting some FLCL action....

Oh and by the way... almost got popped again at the light... cop was sitting there staring at me...couldnt figure out why he was staring at me.... the I thought... ****... my seatbelt....luckily he was in the turning lane to the left of me and all he could do was smile.

                i always thought i drove a lot when i worked like 26 miles away. then i realized everyone else had like twice as many miles as me. and realized my job wasnt that far. now i have two cars, and i work about 7 miles away. the miles don't rack up at all now. except on the 323... cuz i drive like a maniac in that car. :D

                    I hit 91,000 and its going up fast. I wish I had another car. That would be the life. A hooked up on and a casual driving one. Well ... since money doesn't grow on trees I might as pop that bubble.

                          Everyone remember that your federal emmissions warranty will expre at 80,000 miles. And the mazda dealers are very strict on this! I got mine in at 79,400 and luckily too because I needed a new Cat. The O2 sensors though they said were fine. I also had a broken tie rod (if I remember right) I had just bought the car and had it in to get checked out.
                          Coming soon...

                            lol, i got my car 4 years ago exactly one week away from today, and i will be passing the 100k mark sometime before that day. Not one major problem that was cause to take to the dealer or one accident (knock on wood) Best choice i ever made. Now if I could just find a girl as dependable.

                              and um, by the way, o2 sensors are still kickin.

                              replaced Clutch about 85k or so
                              stabilizer bar endlinks
                              struts
                              front brakes 3 times, rear once
                              all the rest of the pm stuff, like timingbelt plugs wires etc.
                              next on the agenda is a leaky front seal
