Default "DA DA"! Marilyn did it first!!!!

Don't know if I should cry or laugh, but we did it first! On a run with the Desert Z association (Arizona) to Lake Havasu City for the fireworks show and "Marilyn" hit the big 50 (thousand miles that is) and I was fortunate enough to be able to hei an exit off I-10 to record the event as it happened!
I'm extremely proud of the 350's in general and my "Marilyn" in particular! Regards, Jim

Congrats, I've had my car for nearly a year and only have 3,500 miles. I got a ways to go before I catch up

How is the car holding up? Does it feel just as it did the day you got it?

Wow, way to go Jim! I'm only at 8500 and I've had mine longer. Of course winters in AZ are just a touch warmer than up here in PA!

I'm glad that I'm not the only one who takes pics like this!

Can you list all of the problems you have had in those 50,000 miles. I am sure alot of Z owners would like to know what they might expect.

I have had my Z exactly 1 year Valentine's day (yesterday). I have 8300 miles. 3500 of them are from driving from Dallas to San Antonio 6 times for mods. So really I have only 4800 miles of actual Z driving. Been fun! Can't wait for the next 100000! Congrats Jim!

Default "Marilyns miles"

On occasion I felt like it could be closer to 350k, but overall it has been a great ride and yet to be completed!
PS, the "35" that you moved up is still visible in the lower odometer section! Regards, Jim

Congrats Jim! Glad to hear that she is holding up nicely. Gives us all hope that our Z's will hold up nicely as well (in light of the problems that some of the board members have been having... ).
