had a weard vibration that would start arround 20mph and stop at 80mph, took her to the shop and my mechanic thought it might be the rear axel, checked it out and the driveshaft was actually curved, no longer nice and strait. he saied that it could have been something i drove over, the box the new driveshaft came in and the sticker on the drive shaft stated SCRAP IF DROPED.
mine is an 05 and i have 23k on it.... no issues so far...
i just did the plug change so hopefully it holds out good....
itll take another 8 years or so at this rate to put on 100k
i only put on about 10k per year...

I bought my "used" '06 as a gift to myself for Christmas '06 with ~900 miles on it. I haven't even turned 6k yet
I'm not allowed to drive it to work because it violates a couple of sections of the NYS V&T so I only get to drive it once in a while. I am seriously thinking about taking the Sgt's test just so I can drive it to work

I tried to film my odometer hitting 100,000.

Cool video! Contrary to an earlier post it appears that the decimal point DOES disappear at 100,000.
I just reached the half-way point last Friday:
Since 100k is exceedingly rare (and rightly so for a car that's only 3-4 yrs old), I'll throw in my .02. Took delivery in May, 2005, have 47,000 and change.
That included a cross-country move from Manhattan to the Bay Area, along the southern route (which was an *excellent* idea since I achieved my land speed record of 140 on a long, flat, empty strech of desert highway in Texas!
)
For the most part she's held up well. Went through one set of brakes and one set of tires. Biggest issue was the need to replace the alternator (and battery) just last week. Biggest sort-of "wear and tear" thing I've noticed is a lot of interior rattling, in the doors, the speakers, etc. Also, lots of those plastic screws holding on trunk lining and such have come out, the plastic piece on the top of the trunk (housing the trunk light) snapped off one one side and I had to have it replaced... I think a lot of my rattling comes from having a VERY loud exhaust and just driving her like I stole her about 90% of the time. Nothing like pushing these horses like they wanna be pushed...
