That's great! lol
I used to have a full-sized Chevy suburban that went over 400,000 miles.
I was hoping to get to half a million but she died, dead, kaput! lol
totally happy as I got my money's worth as my dad had sold it to me with only 40,000 miles for $1!

Full-sized at that time,  meant I could lay down flat,  between the fender wells -
full 4'x8' pieces of plywood with the rear doors shut!
Imagine how many slots I could of brought home!  :96-

Your tires last a bit longer if you cut out laying down rubber on the asphalt all the time!  :72-

Damn, have you been watching me.  I do waste tires that way.  My truck has no need for rubberized rocker guard, that's where the hot rubber sticks.  Note:  My daily driver Truck has 287000 on it and I just can't kill it.  As for the Charger, with the 4.56:1 gears, it launches hard and tends to tear rubber off the tires (Hoosier quick times, now BFG drag radials) if they spin, so I limit the throttle unless I'm runnin'

Thanks,
Wayne
