I treat the odometer as a badge of honor. Higher the better, unless I'm buying it, lol.

Love the gauges Lorne!

And my 93 S-10 pickup had over 300K miles on it when I traded it form my Cutlass. I was the same way with that truck, treated the mileage like a badge of honor.

Thanks Mike,but we both know they are butt ugly.

The only good Thing about that cluster is the certified print to show it is a 1a2.

I have a Canadian Z cluster that I can't wait to see installed.

Well I have had my 91 OCC for almost 7 years and it showed 69367 miles at the last fill up.Granted I dont drive many miles compared to the 150000 miles
I use to average yearly in a big truck.I still love to drive and this wagon has been the most reliable vehicle period that I have ever owned.The only other
vehicle that I had owned longer was my 82 Honda CBX that I bought new in august of that year.I averaged about 10000 miles a year on the bike until I
had to stop riding due to health reasons.
As far as the new wagon goes I havent even put it on the road yet.I know it runs very very strong and shifts great.Keeping this wagon is unsure right
now as I cant bring myself to sell the OCC.Already spent over 500 bucks in minor parts,service manuals and standard upkeep items.I occasionally swap
plates and take it for short rides and there is a difference in the way this 95 drives and handles compared to the 91.Maybe thats my imagination kicking
in but the 95 feels like a slighly improved version of the 91.

I actually like the black gauges Lorne, but I'd love to see an SS cluster in there.

Just turned 137K. Still runs strong but i think a few new spark plug wires won't hurt.
