Hit 150k right as I pulled into work! yeeee

I wish I could say it's the stock engine.. The PO replaced it with a used engine with ~85k on it when the car had ~120k.. soo..that's...105k on the engine..or so..

But still.. that's a bunch of miles..

Heh, my dads SA had about 400k before he swapped the motor on it with an 83's motor. That car is a beast... rusted to hell, but still runs.

Huh.. i've never had any problems reading it, actually.. Maybe it's the off-whiteness of the needles, or maybe the shadow..

Either way, I am replacing the guage faces with silver soon..heh

And I work at GEA..
