Thumbs up Clicked over 350,000 miles today…

Nothing else to note, other than how wonderful these cars are.

She gets a full complement of new filters & (synthetic) fluids everywhere this weekend; sort of a milestone treat…

Cool! Those 606's love racking up the miles. Does it burn any oil?

With the caveat that I *did* re-do the cylinder head a while back (due to a leaking head gasket - but the valve guides were fine), the answer to your question is: no, zero, zip, nada, none at all. And I mean NONE. Amazing. Truly amazing. I love this car.
