Nice job, especially when the effort you made rebuilding the engine to get it there is factored in.

Really? I think 100k is the break in period for a Honda or Toyota. And that's if you drained the oil out when you bought it. GM doesn't have high hopes do they.

Awesome, Jared!

And good onya for being stubborn & not letting it die.

Still cracks me up that I got such a smoking deal on my GSXR 'cus the guy thought it was 'worn out' at ~28k...

Yeah not so much. I haven't gotten less than 150k out of any if that counts.
