I think i MIGHT have hit 90mph the other day racing an audi... Unfortunately for me i dont get alot of breathing room when it comes to speeding and my past record. (stupid 5.0 capri and the one i owned before it.)

congrats on the 250K. My truck has 145k on her. I did my third oil change on the motor a couple of weeks ago. LOL She should be getting close to 20,000 miles on her soon. LOL

I've been pondering that issue. I am considering synthetic oil, but I sure have had good luck thus far. The 5w kinda concerns me in the heat here. Need to switch the p/s over to mobil 1. Can't get her too much.....don't need 'another' spoiled gal around here...
