Congratulations you have spent more than twice what I do to drive a 8,000 lb Dodge Ram Diesel Dually with a programmer adding an extra 180HP set on kill at all times around chicago for an entire month. I average over a 1200 miles a month on my truck in mixed city and highway driving. lol

Nice - my S55 had 171,000 miles, it was an 01. Gas mileage was averaging around 16 for combined driving. I drove it a lot, often up to 1k miles a week as well!
Maintenance was rough though. Every month something would need fixing or changing outside of warranty - often to the tune of $1k+.
Warranty for these cars pays off, but when you have a higher mileage one, you have to hope and be lucky!

Other than a few freeway on-ramp blasts, I haven't had it up too fast because I have a slight sidewall bubble in one of my rear Eagle F1s. I check it every time I stop and it's fine so far. I want to destroy it in a spectacular fashion on video before I replace it.

I bought a Valentine 1 before I left and it saved my *** THREE times yesterday alone.
