To quote Ron White (an American stand-up comedian);

"All the way to the scene of the crash!"

 ;D ;D

If I can stand the fuel and repair costs, I think mine could easily cruise through 200K.

That depends on whether you ever get round to changing your oil :D

Yeah, I know!  ::)  I've done 1,750 since I bought it and the oil was shot then  :-[  Did the important stuff though  ;)  And I bought the oil over a month ago, that counts for something!  :D ;D

Yeah, I've thought a lot about changing my oil!  :D  I also need to rotate my tires,  but don't they do that on their own?  ;) ;D

Oh no, it's in the car! ::)  If I had a garage the oil woulda been changed by now  :P  Also if I could find a place that would do it for 20 quid instead of 80  :o

I only changed the oil on my last car once a year . . .
