Oh, Only 201,491 miles as of this A.M. Still a baby. I want to cross-country this multiple times. It is not a magnet, a la Euro cars .. This almost has its own "charm" to it.
Forever is a long time, and will require A LOT of money and effort to achieve, but as long as you are determined and money is no object, then I guess anything's possible.
There is another thread that I read recently where someone put a link to someone that documented their quest to keep their Ford van going forever. He (and the engine) gave up after a little over a million miles. Most people wouldn't have spent the money to replace a transmission on a 1 million mile vehilce (or all of the other countless parts that were needed over the years) like this guy did, but whatever.
Good luck, and keep on truckin, Creamer1!
Thanks, bfrabel!
Yes, this car has survived.. a lot. It's got so much more left. Pretty much EVERY OTHER CAR I've had has experienced bad luck and misfortune. But I make like $700 a week now, so... You know what they say, when you have money and are doing good, your car will never break. It's when you're broke and have no money that everything that can go wrong... will. I have a testimony to that.
This car may end up being the star of my YouTube channel. If I place a DISCREET video camera somewhere. Something super small, almost like a shirt button size...
How does it drive? What happens if you let go of the wheel? How does it react if you hit a bump or pothole?
It at least needs some kind of alignment because the steering wheel "set" towards the right, when it's supposed to be level/centered. So it's at least that
If I let go of the wheel (I actually have not done that test in awhile,) it goes to.. I think the right.
My right front tire is in the worst condition of the four, rounded edge. The back ones are fine. The two fronts at least could stand to be changed in a pair.
On a flat, roughly level surface, how does it look if you put the vehicle on jack stands. This might help give you a better view of what the suspension is doing or trying to do.

I have to get seat covers, though.
Looks like it’s just the bumper internals and the cover that’s gotten tweaked.
And seriously man ...... go get a few bolts and secure that splash shield instead of the abortion that’s currently there now.

What about your plates?
Always thought you would have to be a police officer with probable cause to put a license plate in some kind of computer and get what it comes back to i.e. my info. These Internet stalkers.. if they get an idea for where you are, it's more for them to try to make trouble for you for. There's always a few psychos out there.
So, in my "online presence,"! I am MUCH more mindful of denying the stalker fanbase that sick pleasure.
Things like phone numbers to where I work, etc...
.. and in those pics, there just so happened to be a pretty large banner displaying that.
I got moved to a location that needed me more anyways, and my exhaust gets fixed tomorrow by a pro with exhaust experience instead of kids with some tools playing mechanic, and it's all with the Rolla you see.
I see a small bend on the inside of one of your wheels. So it did it a curb or something at some point.
