Who Else is in the 5 Year Club?

Mine just turned 5 on 9/1. Bought new, I have about 44,500 miles now. No problems at all. I installed a pigtail to bypass the steering lock. Wore out the factory 19'' tires at 17,000 miles. Replaced with Michelin Pilot Super Sports, got about 27K out of them before they got noisy and the wear indicators were going to show in another couple thousand miles. Bought another set of the same tires. I have run it on Redline or Pennzoil Ultra with 5K OCI's and changed out the battery about a year ago as preventive maintenance and changed out the transmission and rear axle oil at the same time. I like it a lot but still find it uncomfortable for long freeway cruises due to the excessive noise level. I may end up having the whole thing Dynamatted soon, that would go a long way towards making long drives with a bunch of my favorite CD's a lot more enjoyable.
