Default High Mile Club

I know that S2000's probably won't have too much on the odometers to be considered for the High Mile Club... but I'm sure you've all had a car that had quite a substantial amount of miles on it.

I recently rolled over 230,000 miles on my 1994 Mazda MX-6. I got the car when it was just under 180,000... that was in early '03. It's the first car I ever owned, and I love her to death. The engine is all original and completely stock. It's the 2.5l V6. Very fun to drive. I am looking to get the Japanese KLZE engine swapped into it... which produces about 200hp...

Granted, I've only put about 50k miles on her... but I think 230,000 miles on an all original block is quite an accomplishment.

I'm just curious to see how high some of you guys have taken your odometers... past or present.

Not to be confused with the "Mile High Club". I admit I did a double-take to this thread's title.

I went from 55k to 165k with a '90 Nissan 240SX hatchback. Great car. From what I gather it's up over 200k and still going.

Yeah, I knew the title might require a double take for some people.

Needed something that would catch the eye if I wanted replies... right?

Also, I notice you're in the AF, or were. I'm in right now as well... stationed at Nellis. Love it here.

~194k on my 1994 Probe SE. RIP
~160k on my 1993 Probe GT. I might end up getting a VW GTI to replace her, but we'll see if she hits 200k just like the Probe SE was planning on doing.

Dad's Landcruiser was traded in recently (for a Lexus LX470) with 330K miles on the clock.

My personal accomplishments are - 165K on my teggie, just checked carfax and saw that it recently rolled past 225k. 200k on my crx, but I bought her with 100k miles to start with. 225k on an 88 325is that I picked up for pennies. With these newer cars, I'm afraid of owning one beyond the warranty. Perhaps it's because I once was an Audi owner..

My neighbor's '87 Maxima had 305,000 when the odometer broke. She drove it for two more years before getting rid of it.

I've only gotten to the high 130s with my cars. I hope to keep my S longer than that.
