03 MCS with 115k and still strong. Of course it takes TLC to keep her strong.

03 Justa, with 107k. On 3rd set of tires, 2nd set of brake pads/rotors, installed SS brake lines. Oil every 5k, tranny fluid every 30k, couple of light bulbs. Replaced exhaust at 100k, with Megan, OEM rusted, and fell of. Covered steering wheel with Wetskin when OEM started to peel at 90k.
About time for 3rd belt. Need to do bushings, and some suspension upgrades.
Going to get a new battery any day now, still have 7 year old OEM.
I got so many miles out the first set of tires and brakes because for the first 85k it was pretty much all 100 mile a day commutes on straight bald ass prairie highway. Ran winter tires for the first 3 years.
Except for regular guy maintenance, and simple mods, this car has cost me NOTHING beyond sticker price

One customer has a 03 MCS with 187,000 on the clock last I saw it. 19% pulley went in at 12k. Still on original supercharger, second clutch, third PS pump, God knows how many brakes. The car is worn, but cared for.

That looks like ribbed, for her pleasure.
It's a WheelSkin - not a WetSkin. Which sounds like a condom brand. -

Can't tell from the pic if it's vinyl or leather. If it's leather then Mark would probably use the "Leatherique Rejuvinator Oil" to keep it supple and oiled. So I guess it would be the lubricated version of the WetSkin.:devil:

It's made of real nice tender leather, which feels great without lube. But if you want some real wheel stroking action, add as much lube as you feel is needed.

Oh I see it now! "Sophisticated Maturation", some of us miss read the title for something totally different, spun out on the last turn and ended up rolling around in the weeds. Sorry about that K-huevo

I'm definitely getting more sophisticated and mature. You can tell from my posts.
