Where rusted out cars don't exist
I replaced the front brakes and calipers over the weekend. I noticed that pretty much all the bushings are coming to an end. The front right bottom bushing is pretty much dead as it was starting to squeeze out some grease from the area its failing at.

How much do bushings go for?

Definitely waiting to get a picture with it at 123,456.7 :D

An epic pic will be one that reads 765,432.1 ;)

after deciding to keep my 6thgen along with my new 8th gen, hit 170,000 the other day and still running as strong as the day i bought it, stock motor, stock tranny, thats right i said stock tranny, and the funny part is i havent done a tranny flush, or drain and refill since the 100,000 mile service LMAO! gona change it very very soon tho :D
so i guess the tranny issue the auto v6 has all depends on how hard you drive you car !

Actually it's a design flaw...albeit driving any car hard is rough on the transmission. You're just one of the lucky ones.

On my drive back from LAX hit 200,000. Didn't realize it until a couple miles over.
