Makes me look forward to what my LS will get up to. Are you the original owner?

I'm 155,000 away. I don't think I will make it. I'm already itching for a 430 without good reason. Was just looking at an 03 for sale with 128,000 for 10 grand.

My 1991 LS 400 just turned 300k this week and everything is orignal including the radiator 21 years old and still holding water and I am watching it closely. I change the antifreeze every 2 years with the red stuff from Toyota and distilled water. I just empty the block and radiator and refill no flushing needed.
