ScoobyPugh - are you haunting me ? Same Model Year, Same model, same mileage, live in the same county, work in the same (totally different from where we live) county AND I replaced the clutch last month - Tell me you didn't replace the up-pipe too (!)...

I ain't sure of what manufactures make cars last for in terms of mileage. i supose a Subaru Legacy, Forester or Impreza are built for at least 200,000.And small cars like ford fiesta are built for 99-100K miles and off-roaders are built for 500,000...lol well they need to be strong.
