damn! wasn't expecting that. Usually the story is "yeah my grandma drove it about 10 miles every 2 years so it only has on it about 40,000 miles on it..."

Yeah, she drove from Desert Hot Spings CA to Bakersfield CA just about every weekend for alot of years. The spedo cable was broken for about a year, so it really has a good bit more. The car still drives and stears very tight. Original everything. Doesn't smoke, doesn't burn oil, never had any major engine prob's. Only thing wrong is a very cracked dash. I hope to get another 250k before having to do anything to it; who knows?

Nice! Just another testimony that Nissan built one tough motor (when taken care of).
