Sold my 90 Chev truck with 330,000 Kms (over 205K miles) on it about two years ago and the kid who bought it just blew it up last month. I'll have to ask him how many kms he put on it after he got it. 5.7 EFI.

You sure pulled into the parking lot pretty quickly. Hopefully the brakes were still up to the task.
