Talking 350K miles

Happy car, my 300D just tuned over 350K miles in the middle of IA someplace. I'm on my way to NY this weekend.

It is good to always have your camera at the ready. I don't know the true history of my car, but if the odometer is correct, then we are neck and neck. I have 356K and it is running great.

Where are you going to in NY?

Congrats......that's a ton of miles.

The SD is approaching 200K and it will take another 10 years to get to 300K.

Where are you going in NY?

I just put another 350 miles on my car in the past 2 days.... I am only 3,043 away from 250k!! I ran for 4.5 hours today at 80-85mph, and I got an incredible 26mpg!! Engine is WAY quieter at 80+ on synthetic oil than it was on dino, its amazing! Also runs incredibly smooth at those speeds. With my boost adjusted I now run about 11psi at 80mph and 13 at 85+, it effortlessly climbs to 100+mph with the boost pegging around 13.5-14psi. I can't wait till 250k, I should be near it by new years or so...depending if I make any other trips....

My dads car is less than 25k away from 300k. He drives like 400 miles a week most of the time, so he'll be there in no time...

I think it's 70 now, but no-one seems to care.
