That's nothing. TurboTodd just replaced his timing belt at 184,000 mi!!!! Yikes!!! Actually my belt looked good at 152,000mi when the mechanic showed it to me, plus our engine is non-interference so if it broke I'm stranded versus bent valvetrain, etc.. I read the same thing in the manual, 5...

The body is in great shape. No rust for me, as this car has spent its entire life in the Tennessee Valley and Southwest Florida region (garaged at night). Although it has seen some snow driving (no salt though), on a couple of occasions. This will make some people mad, but I have not had any...

bazooka joe- I am at 191,819 as of this morning, which I am guessing I should hit 200k by March or so. I did my first timing belt at 152k, so I should be good there. Come spring the P5 will get new struts (coilovers), hawk brake pads, spark plugs, some beefier engine mounts, bigger rear sway...

I have an '02 with 191,333 on it with no problems to report, I am the original owner as well. This car has been great. I am averaging just over 30 mpg for the miles stated. I have changed the timing belt once at 152,000mi. The clutch is still the original unit, as is most of the engine...

Not driving as much as before, but as of this moment there is 187,609 on the odo. Had a blast this past weekend following a sport bike for about 30 miles down I-75. I hit a speedometer indicated 126mph on one stretch, although for the 30 mile stretch we didn't drop below 100mph. It was early...

I subjected my P5 (180,800mi.) to 30 minutes of high speed, okay higher than the limit (90-110mph) driving. All is well.

Wow! Kudos to the Mazda designers for injecting some true style into the 6 redesign. Wow! Makes the just introduced '08 Accord and current model Camry look like design rejects. I love the detail work in the head and taillights, as well as the bulging fenders, and can't complain about the...

180,100(mi) on the way into work this morning. WooHoo! Took some pics on my phone last night when I hit 180,000, but have no way to get them off the phone, and my cat has chewed through my digital camera cable, so I can't put pic's from camera either. Anyways, it's running good! Later.

Reitrof, Sorry for taking soo long to reply, I have been on vacation. Aside from the mods I had mentioned in an earlier post (page 3 or 4, I think), I have only replaced the battery once, timing belt, water pump, and all other belts once as well, and everything else has been routine fluid...

, awesome Mr. Bazooka. I rolled past 175,000 this past week, and I'm knocking on 176K. Gotta love it!

Looks good. Reminds me of several Mercedes-Benz tail lights. Nice find!

Well, it was the first wash since the official start of spring, but to confess, I live in Florida, and the car gets a bath most every weekend anyways. Not the best of pics, but I hope you all enjoy. The P5 has just under 166,000 miles on it, and the MPV is right at 130,000 miles. Later.

165,500 mi as of this morning, and in need of its weekly bath. Followed my wife to a group bicycle ride early yesterday morning (she drove the P5 with the kids, while I followed in the MPV loaded with 5 bikes, a trailer, and all the gear that comes along for a day on the trail) and I am as...

LilPixieMama75, to answer your question of where I am from, that would be Gig Harbor, WA. However, I currently reside just off of I-75 near Ellenton and Bradenton, in Manatee county, just north of Sarasota. Beautiful area, as are most places here in Florida. Thanks for asking.
