    Whoa! I first read that as 40,000.....
    That is impressive.

    I'm about to hit only 70,000 in my HHR in the next couple of days....

    No i run it for work delivering medical stuff.. run 300-400 miles a night.. bought it in New Hampshire in Sept of '09 with 150kmi on it for $1,700 (so cheap because it had a bad splice to the temp sensor and a bad TPS fixed both on the dealers lot in 10 min and drove it home LOL)

    I credit a lot of it to the original owner.. she kept up oil changes every 3,000 miles

    So far I've done:
    1 alternator
    1 waterpump
    1 timing kit
    1 tensioner pulley + idler
    2 belts
    2 TPS
    1 MAP sens
    1X both rear hub bearings
    Several front hub bearings due to improper torque :slap:
    Outter /tie rods 2x Inner 1x
    Struts all around 1x
    1 Radiator
    Both axles 1x

    Plus oil changes, tune up stuff.. several sets of brakes and tires

    It has actually been an awesome car! :thumbs2:
    Survived 3 deer tackles(all within the 1st couple months I owned it!), One Cobalt butt kiss (stupid snows on dry pavement) and a hit and run by a big 4x4 truck
    I never thought it would last this long. At 300kmi my last was burning a quart every 400 miles LOL

    Thanks for the kind words everyone :yup:

    NY12020 That is very impressive no matter what kind of vehicle it is. That would be many years of driving for me. My 2004 Dodge truck barely has over 60,000 on it.
    Of course when I drove a truck for a living I did rack up a lot of miles. I guess some people still work for a living. :rofl2:
    Keep lurking. But let us know you are alive now and then. ;)
