150,700 Just finished a 2 day race event.
 He's my DD, he's my race car, he's my Daily Racer.I pull no punches, and yeah; I guess I break stuff now & then. Slid into a curb once bein' stupid, I'm on my 3rd clutch (only 2nd flywheel though), I'm on my 7 or 8th set of tires? I'll go back and think about that one. (Goodyear Eagle RS-A, Kumho somethin, Yoko ES100, Dunlop DS-SP(?), Yoko ES100, Goodyear F1 GS3, Pirelli 7000[just 2], and soon to be either yoko es100 again or avon tech m500). Couple interior things have broken, I need to fix my A/C, [might get lucky, it might just be the fuses after all], Transmission's starting to yell at me, but I haven't changed the fluid yet. On my 2nd oilpan, 3rd suspension system, I dunno how manay brake sets I've gone through. I think 5 or 6 pair [not sets], slotted, drilled, AND solid.Great fun though. I just don't baby him on the road, I drive hard.

Aphid is going strong @ 69k & change.
Gas, tires, oil, and the known defective parts: coil packs, brake light switch(es), battery, headlights, and window regulators. At the 70k service, I think we're going to go ahead and replace the timing belt & water pump as preventive maintenance. I've heard too many pre-100k failure stories, and the Jetta's water pump was leaking @ the 105k oil change. As to how long these things runs...with proper maintenance, a good long time.

I've had Putter for ten weeks, and I have 4925 miles. It'll take me 15 to get home today, so that leaves me 60 miles to get to the dealership in Abilene for his 5K service appointment tomorrow morning. It's about 58 miles to get there... I may have to make a couple of loops around the parking lot before I check in.
Can anyone say 'OCD'?
