My car is now officially old as sh*t

I broke 150,000 miles today. But I forgot to take a picture...

Now at 150,015.

Now has ~25,000 miles on my half-assed rebuild (+10,000 on the rebuild before that, before a water seal blew before I bought it).

I've got 117K on my TII. Looks like I'm 2K overdue for my first rebuild.

I've got 212,000+ miles and going strong! These cars have a very solid chassis and so long as you replace whats broken/worn, they'll keep going.

The thing I love about 7s is that you can wear out the engines to the point of death and they'll still run like a dream! That makes it more encouraging to put off a rebuild, even though your engine is due for one...
