On the drive to work today I missed the milestone by just a single mile. Parked at work with 150001. So close.

My new phone takes insanely good pictures.

At the current rate, it will take me approximately 900 days.

Wait... 150K?

I have 24k on the Challenger and I am already replacing the Tranny...

Jeeeeeez. I need to take better care of my cars...

My trans is original, just had fluid flushes. The motor as you know is a different story.

The NAG1 should be good for nearly 800 ponies out of the box, unless you have the manual, which is the TR6060. Thats what the Viper gets, so should be plenty strong enough.

But just 24k? I thought she had more than that, youre driving so often in it (or it seems you are).

Do it in 899 days - magnificent symmetry.

I put 11k on in the last six months.

Picked it up through a local guy who deals in Heavy Metal. Typical inventory is Porsche Turbos, Ferrari 430, Gallardo, etc. When this rolled in through one of his "regulars," he gave me a call. I have a soft spot for big, dumb animals.

It's spent maybe... 8 or 9k of those 11k miles doing burnouts. I'm Frankly surprised it lasted as long as it has.

The LX platform is a great one, you should be fine. Do your oil and other fluid changes on time and you'll be fine.

Also, start an Elephant Project Log and maintain a tag for it. You've got plenty of time and miles to catch up!
