I'm going to go ahead and call winner on this one. I just put it in the body shop with a hair under 80,000 miles on it. I bought it in September of 2001. I was putting over 1,000 miles a week on it for the first year I had it. I still haven't changed my timing belt or my transmission fluid. I haven't had to replace anything on the car due to wear and tear or mechanical failure. The only problem is that I've demolished my CV joints from shifting like a madman and warped all my rotors (twice) from mountain driving or racing...ok definetly mountain racing.
