quarter million baby!

Well it only took my 7 and a half years, but my wagon rolled over 250,000 miles today.

As far as I know that makes it the highest mileage US WRX.

Unless anybody knows of anyone else over a quarter million....

Nice! I'm gonna hit the quarter million in a couple more oil changes... on my Stanza haha, the subie still has a long way to go for that kind of mileage.

Hey any way you can take a pic?, curious what a wrx engine bay looks like with 250K on the clock.

thats $25,000 in gas! 25mpg-10,000 Gallons-Avg $2.50/Gallon

So basically what im trying to say, is instead of trying to hit 1,000,000 miles...just buy a Tesla!

Wow, thats very Impressive!! I've seen 150,000 + miles but never 200,000 + miles. This says alot about the owner as he takes the neccessary maintainence routines seriously. Awesome dude!!

i think the secret is to get a leaky gasket, then just keep putting a quart in every week...that's like super fresh oil all the time.

and Ive been with pete on a few northbay thrashes, hes probably the fastest bone stock wagon you've ever see, most STI guys couldnt keep up with him. So believe me, those werent an easy 250K miles.

Congrats Pete!
