bought my 87 with 42k miles on the clock back in 94 (i was 2n owner). Went from South Dakota to Miami in 96. Daily Drove it from 96 - 98 then moved to Minnesota. Daily drove it from 98-04. Through rain, snow etc. Never once did it "break". And at one point I even upgraded the turbo which was about the only thing that needed attention at about 150k milles. I always maintaned it. That means, oil changes, spark plugs, hose changes, radiator flushes yearly. Died at 225k, #5 bearing was no more.
So never had a "break down". Even with the spun bearing. I drove it with ZERO oil pressure for 15 miles. Hay it was either that or not finish my last exam to graduate from university. Sorry, the graduation was more important![]()
Kind of sounds like a heroic way to go out too :biglaugh:
