Re: Roc turns 190,000 miles!

["Wm. Josiah Erikson" <josiah@gsinet.net>]

Hehe... my old '83 had 360K miles on it when I finally junked it. It had
nothing wrong with it really, it was just tired in general. The body was so
stressed that you could feel it twisting when you drove down a dirt road. The
engine had about 108psi in all four cylinders, had no low end torque at all,
but some high end nut....
    I miss that car. It was such a shitbox, though. Took me to California and
back : )
    AND... my Rabbit GTi has 189K on the clock and the odometer has been
stopped for several years. My QSW has 160K on it now....
