282k on the 97 SLE and still runs like brand new. ;) I just wish I could have racked up all those miles :P

68 has about 40k and is temporarily out of service due to needing some TLC

94 SSEi has 128k and has had for the past couple years :sad:

Wow. I didn't realize your car had that low of mileage. With all the work you have had to put in I thought it was well up into the 1xx,xxx

When I sold my 03 SLE this past summer it only had 105K. My old 99 SE now has 215K.

I'm looking for 97-99 SSEi with less than 100k, if that counts!

Our Tahoe has 252K, my Silvy has 160K, and my wife's Odyssey has 215K. Oh ya, the Hawk has only 14K.

Love to hear a story like this, and your 92 looks great by the way.
