Yesterday (10/6) the 2000’s tenth birthday.
It is sitting at 199,059 mi.
Looks like I missed hitting the 200k mark by about 2 1/2 weeks, but at least both milestones will be in the same month.
This site has been a big help in keeping it on the road. When I got the car, I thought the L67 was immune to LIM failure and didn’t have to worry - but with the warnings I was apprehensive and was able to catch it at the first sign.
Anyone else ever have concurrent milestones like this?

No, but that is quite a significant milestone(s) for you & your Bonneville. Congratz!Roadrunner wrote:

Wow. My car will be over 20 before it hits 200k.

Hit the 200k mark today.
Ten days after its 10th birthday!
I owned my old 92SE longer and racked up more miles – but there were a whole lot fewer problems.
Not complaining though since it’s more a labor of love kind of thing I guess.

Thanks, this is significant to me mainly because I never thought the car would survive this long given the number of problems it had early on.markwb wrote:No, but that is quite a significant milestone(s) for you & your Bonneville. Congratz!

Our 13 year old SSE is sitting at 232,000. I wonder if it will make 300?
