Whats YOUR mileage?? (Was [DML] Ignorant DJ)

["stainlessilusion" <5n-@xxxxxxx>]

Engine is still young compared to a 150 thousand, but mine's about to 
click 70,000...still runs like a champ even after many years of 
sitting, and no doubt it will stay alive for a looong time. I tell 
yah, now that I think about it, this engine has been great. 5003 
never left me stranded, hasn't leaked out all over the ground...it 
ran a bit rough when I first got it but the cure was DRIVING IT! 
What's YOUR mileage?? -----Dani B. #5003
