    Mark, you are "Da Man"! Eleven years of everyday driving in salt and deerhide and it still looks like that, that should give every one of us here the incentive to do the same. Rust-prone, engine-blowin' conversation pieces? ...I don't think so!!

    Quarter million w/o repairing the seats? Really? NFW!!!

    Looks perfect on the top. Flip it over like a turtle (so we can see it's belly) for the real truth!!!

    Seriously, that's freakin' perfect!

    Unreal! Nice job!

    Suddenly my 140k is starting to feel more like I'm just getting her broken in

    Here's to another 100k for everyone!

    reminds me of an old episode of married with children where Al is about to hit 1 million miles on his old dodge and they are going to tape it and give him a brand new viper - of course he never gets it but maybe someone should write isuzu a letter on behalf of deermagnet

    Oil consumption ?

    I agree with everyone on this post that even with 270K miles, Mr. Deermagnet has managed to maintain his VX in near-pristine condition.

    One question though. With less than half Deermagnet's miles, my VX drinks oil like crazy. Probably, I am going through at least a quart every thousand miles. Makes me wonder how a VX with more than twice my miles measures up against the same metric.

    So, how much oil does your VX drink Mr. Deermagnet?

    Guess if you don't mind checking your oil every single day then the issue is a non-issue. For lazy people like me though...? Kind of a pain. But I love my 130K mile VX so I guess I'm going to have to monitor the oil eater one way or the other.

    Zero oil use between 3K oil changes for me. Only 85k clicked off. Estimate 6k miles per year, I'll also hit 300k in the spring of 2048. Check back if you want to see my post!
