I drive mine everyday as my DD, 130K with only a failed alternator. I also drove it from Phoenix where I bought it, back to Vancouver. Two day trip in the summer heat with not a single problem. Also took it down the Oregon coast last summer without a single problem. This car is a beauty for road trips..

Yes! The low oil light. Do you have the original Toyota oil filter?

First things first... Where in Alabama are you? Im in Huntsville. Glad to see more Bama guys on here. Your the third in 1 week.

I drive mine 23 miles one way to work and back every other day. I also drive it to Birmingham once a month, without any hiccups or complaints. Its got a slight vibration in the front, ever since I put lowering springs on it, and then back to the factory. I cant seem to figure it.

I have driven it to Florida, to Panama City, Destin, and Fort Walton Beach, twice. Runs good. Has 163K on the clock.

Drive it 12 miles each way four/five times a week. In the year I've owned it put 7000 miles on it. With 181,000+ miles can't bring myself to take it more than I care to spend to have it towed home! It runs and rides great and I want to keep it that way.

I've been admiring a well kept black 98-2000 for some time. The other day I saw it on a flat bed heading for the shop. Made me sick to my stomach.

I drive mine around 50 miles every day, and I drive to california and back every year from Colorado. I bought it three and a half years ago with 120k miles and now it has 185k.

I actually just got my SC4 about a month ago with 163,900 miles and put about 1000 miles on her already just driving to work and home (30mile round trip 5-6 days a week) and no problems!

O-Ren treats me good :]
