It's really cool to hear of these mileage masters. My D recently passed 36,400 miles, and I hope to keep finding the time to improve and care for the systems to keep it going well past 100k! The most miles I have put on it so far in one shot is when I flew down to Atlanta to pay for it (@35,000mi) and drove it back to the Chicago area. Was a great way to learn if the car had any odd behaviours/quirks. Drove beautifully. My intent is to keep it going as a seasonal daily driver once I get the A/C optimized.
