I traveled one way to work 55 miles for 9 years and that included alot of weekends and weekly "on-call" duties.
The rear wheels, No spacers. Just 17X10.5 wheels and 313/35/17 tires.

Did you buy the car new? How has it held up over the 300k? Obviously it looks great, but how about mechanically, any major repairs?

My sister gave it to me when it has 130K miles on it. I was driving it to DC every day 100+ miles alot of weekends too. Right away, I replaced the fluids. Mobil1 ES in the engine, Mobil1 auto trans fluid in the power steering sump, Mobil1 automatic transmission fluid in the transmission. I had to fill and drain the differential fluid 3 times until it turned clear colored again. When the 3.73 gears went in, they used Amsoil gear oil/fluid. I replaced the radiator and thermostat. Totally rebuilt the braking system components. I replace the fuel filter every oil change. I've always used Autolite copper core plugs in the engine. Replaced the wires and ignition coil because of age. Eventually the suspension was rebuilt. Thats pretty much it. I try to eliminate any noise, bang, or clunk as soon as I hear it. Runs great right now. Brand new dual exhaust and it's dyno tuned.

Loose the 3.8 emblem on back huh?? I'll go out and look at it in a moment and consider. I put it on there to bring attention to that very fact. It's a little single port V6 that can hold it's own. - I'll go see what it'll look like without!
