That's close to where I am, 46,100km on her (2010). I remember breaking 40k last summer and thinking 'I can't believe it has so many KM now!' Then I see cars like 90ST's though and some buddies with G's that have 2xx xxx and it makes me feel good, just knowing I can expect to enjoy mine for years and years to come

so the weather said snow/ice rain/ slush/ blahh forecasted for the next few days... saddends me that end of march seems like a bit of a push to bring her out.

i guess i'm a bit antsy because my stillen cbe is sitting in the basement begging to make some noise lol...

She's out today!

Reminds me of when I had my bike. I owned it for 5 years and put 15000 kms on it. My buddy owned his for 2 years and put 30000kms on it. Bottom line, he got a lot more money's worth, seat time and enjoyment then I did out of the bike.

Same holds true for our cars.

For those that stored it for the winter, are you guys changing the oil as soon as possible not that the weather is nice again?

cooltoy · 03-19-2015, 03:40 PM

I do. Right before storage and right after.

Changed prior to storage and changed immediately prior to driving.

I would change the oil as soon as you can. Unless you have a nice heated garage it was kept in? I still would change it after sitting for 4/5 month.
