All I hear is people talking about how low of mileage they have, I would like to know who among us has the highest mileage, my Trans Am Turbo is pushing just under 150,000, she is an everyday driver rain, snow it does not matter, sometimes the t-tops may never even go back in when it rains, I just drive faster. The driver's seat is all but disappeared. I am very proud that I can have so much fun with a car like this, I keep the important things protected, but anything that is replaceable is in danger of being used to its full capacity. She will never see a junkyard, will continue to be driven until I die, or they catch me doing 165mph on the interstate.
I also have a perfect condition Festival car, the first time I drove it I was absolutely paranoid that something was going to happen to it. I was one of those people that would park a mile away, too much stress I had to stop driving her.
Well maybe it's time for those of us were pushing 100,000 should stand up and be proud, that with the reality that gasoline powered vehicles will probably disappear within our lifetime or at least be completely and financially unrealistic to drive, I say we should enjoy these cars, as long as there is one in a museum I would never worry. Before I picked up the Turbo, I had a 66 convertible Mustang that was my 10 year everyday driver, McDonald's french fries were permanently welded to the carpet, people were disgusted at the condition of the car, but the reality was the car was meant to be driven, and for almost 200,000 miles that's exactly what I did, the car is now perfectly restored, and sits in front of my house,
I think I would just like the hear about others and there long-term friends, Going and going and never gave up. The 74 pinto that drove 300 miles in a blizzard type stories.
I know there are other places on the site for such stories, but I always considered TTA persons to be the special exception, there are not many of us and we need to stick together.
Enjoy
