Nada, but I don`t really care

. It`s reward enough to have my hard work appreciated and my beloved Legend get a little recognition.

Glad you guys like the pics -- thank you for all the positive feedback and comments. It`s been a labor of love over the past several years.

Hoping to squeeze at least another 100,000 out of this old beater

My in-laws have one right now with 343k miles on it. Before that they had a pickup truck with 320k miles on it.

Didn`t look anything like this car though....obviously.

All I can say is, WOW! I am truly speechless! Fantastic work.

It`s all in the maintenance. Here`s my history.

Awesome car! I hope my Corolla can get there someday.

Very NICE!

I notice that there are many times in your maintenance history that the oil was replaced in less than a months time due to the mileage. What do you do to put so many miles on the car?

:goodjob

I love travel. It`s all leisure mileage. I`ve hit up 25 states so far. I live in Arizona but visit family frequently throughout Utah, travel often to southern California, and have driven cross-country twice in addition to the Alaska trip and a couple of times into Mexico.

Needless to say, the dealerships know me personally.

I`ve been lucky enough to inspect this car in person. He drove it up to the OCDetails fall show a couple years ago and it swept a couple of the categories. I`ve never seen a vehicle that old with that many miles on it look as good as that car looks. Even with as anal and obessive as I am I could honestly not find a single thing I would do to improve how it looked. Everything that could be cleaned was cleaned. This car could compete in concourse show events and give any car a run for its money. You`ll never find a daily driver that is driven so much look this good. All I can say is `WOW` and my hat goes off to Tyson for his dedication to maintanance in all forms on his car. Bravo!!!

That`s awesome man! I am happy to hear that the mileage is leisure and not work related

If you`re ever down in the New Orleans area let me know. I`d love to see the jewel in person...

4cruizn- That`s just *wonderful*, thanks for sharing it with us! You really do the whole vehicle ownership thing right :xyxthumbs

And I echo the comments on its being done with OTC products..that was one of the first things that caught my attention.

Jngrbrdman- Your

goes a long way in my book and shows that it wasn`t just spiffed up for this one presentation but is kept nice all the time. Oh, and hi! :wavey seems like I haven`t seen you around here recently.
