done want to start a new thread for this, so allow me to hijack for a moment...a friend of mine with a 1995 SE says that his duratech has turned over 3 times.but his odometer reads 89,XXX. he says that the last digit on the odometer turns over to 2 and then goes back to zero...is this true? i dont see how it could be, but i suppose its possible...
Regards, Cole.

Wow. 240k miles and still going strong, that's great. I did an oil change last week and the mecanic told me my car is in great condition considering it's 6 years old. No oil leaks and no rust anywhere.

P.S. Once, on one of my visits to Helsinki I got a pair of Jensen tweeters.  Oh well, it was like 12 yrs ago.
