My neighbors '97 Mountaineer

[03ExplorerSPT]

The people across the street from me have a '97 Moutaineer V8 2WD that they bought new roughly 6 or so years ago. Well, they never go anywhere and the only driving I see this truck do is into and out of the garage parking it to and from the curb infront of their house. Well I was talking with him today and asked him how many miles were on the truck. He said around 8,000. I was like OMG I have to see this. I opened the door and looked at the odo. It said 8,633 miles. He said one of his family members borrowed the truck once and took it to LA (about 5 hrs. away). He was shocked when I told him my X has 61,8xx miles. Can you believe the miles on this thing? It's incredible!!

That's nothing! My '96 has about 2,500 original miles on the motor/tranny/suspension.. everything!

sad, cuz if they just move it from the garage to the street 90% of the time, the cats are proly clogged. constant short trips can be really hard on a few things, and 2 minutes of run time every time it is driven is no good at all.

there are alot of peol ou there that have low miles on there rides especialy older people. When I was working in a repair shop I did an oil change on an older gentlemans 92 ford explorer and it had 13,500 original miles on the tranny and engine. This truck looked brand new. I was amazed when I saw it.
