42km already…(26097.590073968 miles according to my handy on line converter ). It doesn't seem that long ago you got the beast from Steve. You’ve been on some big trips. The famous family vacation trip and the bad tire. The trip to Florida when Miss Florida was going to meet you at the border and sign an autograph. Glad your beast has been good to you.

Daaaaaaamn, Walter. That's a lotta clicks.

I just hit 28,000km myself...of course, that's since January 20, so about 3000 miles per month.

As for problems....nada. Except that I had to patch my front left and rear left tires...three weeks apart. What are the odds? My wife's car and my old car went a combined 16 years with one puncture, but the SRT8 gets two of them in a month. Crazy. Thankfully, both were extremely minor. I was losing about 1 psi/hour both times.

arrgh

Just the thought of tires gets me going.

(Hey Haas, BEAUTIFUL work on my key thingy! Thanks)

I've bought one new one (screwed sidewall), and patched 2. I can't remember ever having tires that magnetically attract debris!

We only have a paltry 11000 miles on our girl but she has been wonderful, and I still look forward to my next stint behind the wheel.

I'll take those odds as I posted a few weeks ago while on vacation in Indiana I picked up a nail in both the right front and right rear at the same time. Go figure. Both are patched and doing fine.....will probably use them as spares.
