About tcfheckel
When I bought my 1994 T-Bird in February, I said, "I'll drive it for 20 years"! Seventeen years later, it now has 198K+ miles on it. It's been a great car. Too bad a couple of the mechanics haven't been so great! :-)
Aug.2017 - 23 years and about 248K miles later, she is still running with the original engine & transmission. Wow! The best investment I ever made. Taking a five hour non-stop trip over to Eastern WA and back, again. Hope she continues to hold up. So comfortable compared to today's style cars.
