Took me a few weeks to catch up. 2004 Chevy Classic (old style Malibu). Had 12,000 miles on it when we purchased it and it was a rental car. Took an extra side trip on the way home from work last night so I wouldn't have to stop by the side of the road today to take the picture.
This odometer mileage contest ain't fair to those of us that drive 10,000 miles or less per year, that's if it's a contest.

This thread motivated me to put some parts and pieces on my old truck.
2004 GMC Z-71 Sierra. 5.3 150K on the clock.
What you can expect to fail with time and miles. We already did the break lines and basic maint.
Add to this a remanf. transfer case. My fault on that failure not GM's.
The simple stuff...
Headlight assembly's. Ordered these when this thread came up. Existing were a fogged over mess. Easy peasy 2 pins and done. Will aim them after dark.
Tail lights. Same order with the head lights but a bit more to install. Existing were fogged over.
The drivers side mirror lost the magic fluid that was the dimming agent. Another easy enough replacement.
The light controllers. These will just act stupid as they age. Easy fix and again not all that expensive.
The gauge package on these trucks will loose their minds at a point. Re-man parts are available and this cluster was from a reputable distributor. A lot easier to install than you might think. I did this and the light control in 30 minutes.
Tomorrow it gets a left front wheel bearing and possibly a new set of shoes.
With 150K on the clock and being serviced on a tight schedule I will get to that elusive 200K.
