Advice from those over 100k miles

the highest mileage car i owned was my rsx-s at 104,xxx and it had no problems.

my dad has a 99 toyota rav 4 with 250,000 miles and it's still going. he changed the oil ever 2,500-3,000 miles.

i personally think how much you take care of your car is how much it will take care of you.

That being said if I was going to keep this car for ever I would order one and have it ready to go.

plus those are highway miles right? probably in WAAAAY better condition than say a granma driven 5min trip car with super low miles.

then i could fix it on my own.

old people shouldn't be allowed to drive. they see you and still merge into you. they hear you honking your horn and everything, but thug life.

another reason why i hate motoring my Z during 'geezer hour' which is weekdays 9:15am to 11:30am..

but if i had to chose the replacement... it'd be the chaepest one to source. as both options seem to be viable alternatives.

on another note though... has anyone have a failed HDCSC?
