Congratulations!!! 8)

I figure I'll be at 50k in about 4 months.

Good luck.

I hit 42k this Morning. Over all there is nothing that compares to the CRD. Look past the "on road" modifactions that DCX did to the motor and it is great.

I'd say with a diesel engine at least 20-30k. Keep driving. :)

As we continue to pile on the miles, it'll be interesting to see the results of the "would you do it again?" posts.

I noticed that too. 245 MTR's didn't seem to hurt my mileage at all.
