Yup, as of a couple 'o days ago, I've had this thing for ten years! Woohoo!(Since I missed its birthday earlier, I figured I'd at least mention something about the anniversary.)
151,621 miles, and counting!

Happy 10th Anniversary to Me and My SVT!

Congrats Marty! That's pretty impressive, & it makes me feel confident that my CSVT (with 81k) still has a lot of life left.

That is awesome! Mine's only days older than yours. I'm happy to have it on the road for its birthday!
It's funny...I'm at 139,000 miles on the original hoses and belts. Just TODAY my upper radiator hose sprung a leak, and it looks like a place where I may have nicked it while removing the trans before. I'm really impressed with the durability.
For the record, the only reason this car has REALLY broken was due to abuse. I absolutely BEAT my trans. I'm amazed at what it takes!

So are those 10 candles on your car? Or antenna?
I'm about to turn 130K on mine, it's never been abused. Thank you, Quaife.
