No new tweaks; in fact I haven't even got the control cable plumbed in to my dual exhaust cutout yet. On the other hand, the 275/40 X 17" Firehawks are wearing like iron: 78,000 km and going strong!

Remember, the odometer only counts to 299,999. I made it halfway there this morning, am a lightweight compared to your miles though

I made it halfway there this morning, am a lightweight compared to your miles thoughI'll have to track my miles with the tripometer or something when I hit the magical 299,999. I work at a courier company in Metro Detroit. We do a lot of runs going all over MI and quite a bit to surrounding states. Even tolling around SE Michigan for 8-10 hours will rack up the miles. Closed out the day at 233,019.

We bought our 03 in 2005 with 34,400. We just reached 75,000 this last week. I was putting 1,000 miles/month on it when we lived in AZ. Now, it's closer to 300-400 miles/month.

Bought the '04 on Halloween day, Oct 31 2003. So its been 5 years and 2 weeks since we bought it. Just turned 47,000 miles today, Nov 15th. Funny how I bought my '04 Honda Pilot in June 2004 and it has 57,000 miles as of today. Nine months newer, but 10,000 more miles. Gotta admit, I'm torn between which one I like better.The Pilot is hugomongous and quite powerful, but the Vibe is sporty, tossable, and has more creature comforts than my Pilot.

Just hit 76k km (approx 46k miles) on our 05 5 speed. It looks like I am averaging about 12k miles per year.So far I have two replacement waterpumps, one leaking front axle seal and a new cat converter (all done under warranty).I have used synthetic engine oil and synthetic transmission fluid since the beginning.I will need for the first time a front brake job sometime in December.
