GL turns 140K!! - CEG Archives

Keep on truckin!!

We just ordered some snow shoes for her (Blizzak WS-50), got some new head light bulbs (Silver Star), and I'll be checking the A/C since it stopped working a while ago. Time to winterize folks!

I have 157 and some change on my 95 Mystqiue

and my AC was working that last time I used it

We got a set new set of snow tires on the new set of 99 SE wheels we picked up and I think I will be getting those, the contour gets the Mystique wheels for the winter again so I can take the FSVT wheels off, the new/old set of snows will go on my mothers car, they were new last winter, and the oldest set will go on my father car when he has to drive it in Jan when my brother is home and needs a car to use

I also took my old high beams from the contour and put them in the mystique, what a difference, I can actually kinda see now from not really being able to see

GL was having the same problem. Headlights seemed too dim.

Mike is to blame for putting most of the mileage on her

same problem with my dad's 95 GL, he can actually drive with his highs on and no one notices.

that is because most people are in SUVs or large trucks and are above where out lights shine anyway ... and where their low beams still blind us

138k. Still stock on almost everything except that alternator that went. Even the water pump is still plugging along.

122K on mine..she's still strong

112k, and getting unhappier by the month.

I really need at least a driveway to keep it on instead of parked on the street.

I'm getting a bit of a vibration in the pedals while at speed, not terrible, and not really consistent with being out of balance, either.

Secondaries sound like they're open most of the time...

*sigh*

But I still love it. I just can't afford much for repairs on it right now.

76K on mine and getting weaker by the day.

I can't wait till I can afford to replace it.

Hit exactly 110,000 when i parked the car in the driveway tonight. Just timing belt replacement at 95k, usual maintance, other than that its still got stock parts. We drive 90 volvo 240 with snow tires for winter, heated seats, its a tank.

My '98 LX has over 112K miles on it. Still running well.

i miss my GL. i loved that thing in the snow. glad to see you're keeping her running!

Yup. Just bought a new set of boots for her. Blizzak WS-50 on the 15" steelies I bought with my Pirellies a while back for the one winter I drove the SVT. She's having a 'working' retirement, but its easy work. Just commuting, and never a complaint from her.

I'm rolling up on 160K

the protege turned 13500 this weekend....
and the hearse has 90090
the El Camino is still showing a respectible 225000
