88 Stanza with 271k still on the road

[hitch]

I bought this car from my MIL in 97, with 145k. It was a sort of rare GXE version with a 5speed. All I needed to do was change the slave cylinder, plugs, wires and dist cap. The electrodes on the spark plugs were completely gone, but it still ran. My wife drove it until 212k and we sold it in 2003 to a local teen. Clear coat was starting to go, headlights were flakey, on on to a minivan we went. AT 212 it was still on the original clutch, gentle female drivers! I saw it last week at a local grocery store, showed 271k and still being driven. Thought it was way cool!

That is cool! I've seen a few of my old cars running around town and its kind of like a homecoming to see them, but 271K- outstanding.
