3008 miles today, it is 16 weeks old (sort of like how parents describe our children) We're trying to stay on a 10k per year schedule. we bought an extended warranty(not from the dealer) which covers the major parts of the car for 100,000 miles regardless of how many years it takes to get there. The way I look at it, I have a 10 year, 100k mile warranty.

Cost $1100 dollars for the coverage and I have about another month to change my mind with no penalties/full refund....

11,500 miles since 12/14/2002. Not bad. Although I must say I am a little jealous of rasermon's low number.

Then I smelled something burning. I pulled over to the side and turned the vehicle off. It wouldn't start again. All I could think of is what you said.70,900 Miles-Savoy-

Didn't mean to fear-monger you into a restless night, Savoy! (and I'm pretty sure your Vibe isn't going to fireball due to going a bit past the valve adjustment period), but it would be good to hear how/if the clearances changed in 70,000 + miles.

I looks like a few people have more miles on there cars.. but I'm catching quick. My Vibe GT just turned 1 and I have 50,806 miles on it! I am easily on track to do that again this year. I haven't gotten any 'major scheduled maintenance' done either.. but I have been told to get the fuel injectors cleaned relatively soon.

~5800 miles, bought it end of August 03. I started a new job last January that is a 72 mile round trip away. I'll be putting a lot of miles on it. But I sure love driving it.

My odometer hit 100,000 km on the way home tonight. I stopped to take pictures (I took one when it said 99,999 km and it was -9C out), but I'm not sure that my camera can focus on the digital display. I'll have to download them & see what I ended up with.

We're still at 21,000 km after having the car for over a year and a half. Walking to work really helps save the kilometres.
