Hit the gas hard at highway speed and saw a cloud of smoke. Oil consumption has gone up to about 1 qt every 3K miles. I've managed to get 170K miles out of my K03, the last 90K chipped, but I guess it is time for a replacement.

 

thats a long time though, but a good excuse for the new.

 

yea its given a valant effort and time for it to be set to rest, maybe you should hold a burrial for it since it was such a trooper.... time for its big bro the k04

 

lucky bastard...

sometimes when i dream i think of seeing the smoke pouring out of my car.. so i can upgrade

 

wow 170K goes to show maintence and a good synthetic oil works wonders. Good excuse to upgrade, I kinda,sorta, in a waylook forward for things to break. Its really the best way to get something out of the wife, besides painting or doing something she wants. Even though I maintain to the max, I know something will go.
