Re: Mileage?

I bought my 96 GLX in 98 and it had 89,000 on it, they said the previous
owner was in th army or something and that they were "highway" miles, It now
has 113,000 on it and nothing major has gone wrong yet, my driver side
window and door lock thing broke but that is the only problem I have had so
far, I think that as long as I take care of it, I can do whatever mods that
I want, the engine is still strong as hell, I ran a 15.6 at 88mph at the
drag strip while beating a Mustang LX 5.0 the other night, that is with just
a K&N drop-in inside a modded airbox

96 GLX, sequoia green, 5 sp., K&N, tint, euro switch, smoked side markers,
MOMO knob/boot, Kenwood CD deck and a long list of plans!
