200,000 Mile Club

20 May 2024, 38,000 on the new head gasket..

 

I like my "200,000 mile Club" cars that have not had major engine maintenance.

 

Those are the ones that likely had minor engine maintenance, every 50k, namely you-know-what. That’ll hopefully stave off head gasket failure.

the runaway oil consumption, nothing short of piston/ring replacement is the cure, or new short block.

and there’s brake booster’s inevitable demise.

and hybrid battery.

pretty soon you’ve got yourself a high mileage funny car. Meh.
