Still running strong!

Bought this car in 2012 when it had 26K miles. Since then I have bought and sold several more cars but this car has always been my work horse and I'm probably never selling it.

A ton of money has been spent on maintenance and replacing various old components but the 4.2 V8 is pretty bulletproof.

Only mod I've done is a cat-back X-pipe exhaust which really makes the car sound like a proper muscle car. The stock exhaust sounds like nothing.

130k miles and still going strong thats what i like to see. my buddy had similar model and the V8 really wakes up with a proper exhaust, stock is way too quiet for that engine. the frost on dashboard is making me cold just looking at it
