100,000 miles and counting

[Rutherfordman]

My 2008 LB is fixing to roll over its first 100,000 miles. No big issues with the car so far as I use it for my long distance work commute of 180 miles/day. Some minor items are the drivers side door glass has mysteriously chipped on the top edge in one spot and the stereo is picky about CD’s. Also the cheap wheel covers are so bad about cracking when you take them off I just took them off permenantly to give my tire store a break (they already bought one). I have put the car thru a rigourous test as 8 miles of my commute are on a tortuous steep gravel road. I have bottomed the car out a few times on rock and although I made a slight modifcation to the cross member it still lives. I really need a skidplate for my road! My pick on tires are the Yokohama’s as I have almost 50,000 miles on these now and a decent amount of tread is still left even with gravel road driving. These tires stick to the road good in all weather and since the Yar is so light this makes a difference in deep water as the car can hydroplane due to its lite weight. I do my own maintenance which has been fairly easy (oil changes, front brake pads, etc.). Overall very satisfied with the car.
