One third of one million

On Sunday, my Miata passed the one third of one million miles milestone. It should hit 350K by the end of the year, if all goes well. I bought it at a little over 170K in August of 2007, and it has been relatively dependable. I know it needs a front main seal, (skipped it during the timing belt changes, now I have to park on the grass at work,) but all of the other maintenance it needs is the periodic stuff. I did switch to a Walbro fuel pump late last year, and kept the old one as a spare after I got stranded the third time due to fuel pump failure. (I got about 20K out of the Autozone pumps.) I do get a camshaft tick if I run less than 10w30. I also burn oil when running in excess of 4000rpm, which happens quite a bit now that part of my commute has been raised to 75mph. All in all, though, I think the problems are minor compared to the amount that I have driven it.

I hope everyone's Miata is as long-lived.
