Re: High Mileage Escorts

I'm about to hit 180K. But then again, my car is Frankenstein. I dropped a valve seat at 72K and had a Jasper rebuilt engine put in, so I don't even have a lot of old engine problems yet. That and I fix every last little thing almost as soon as it breaks. I think the only thing wrong with the car is a burned out light bulb in the HVAC controls (and some body damage). I'm probably going to keep it until it need a new engine again.

I bought this car new on October 1995.

I probably would have bought a new car by now, but I'm not impressed by the crappy gas mileage, oversized engines, and lack of true hatchbacks, and oversized rims on all new cars.
