Next month I'll have had the ZHP for 8 years and 52k miles - so far a new battery is the only thing I've replaced.

 More stuff to remove on the BMW to get there.The plugs are in plain sight on a Boxster once you remove a rear wheel and a small splash guard. |

93k on the Miata right now.
Previous owner replaced the window switch under warranty. Otherwise normal maintenance for me: - changed the brakes this summer - did spark plugs @ 60k (or was it 75k?) - air / oil / filter as needed It's due for new tires.

Nother wrong right now on the E46 M3.
Fiat just turned over 20K and so far oil changes and gas only. Jeep Grand Cherokee is a MESS. It sat this srping for various reasons, so now brakes are toast. Probably needs rotors, pads, fluid, etc.
