I had a 1974 RX-2 (Mazda) that went over 160,000 with no work other than tune-ups and lube&oils - but then it died..... i got $100 trade-in when it went under. Oh, it did get 1 brake job and 2 clutch jobs in that time. It died in 1980 - young, but having gone a great distance in it's short lifetime. It was new April 1975. This is a tribute to Carmy. May she rest in pieces. -- ________ ( ) Don Stanwyck @( o o )@ 312-979-3062 ( || ) Cornet-367-3062 ( \__/ ) ihnp4!ihuxr!stanwyck (______) Bell Labs @ Naperville, IL
