Since I installed the new dash and VDO digital speedometer some years ago,
I've been running with about a +5% speedometer error. Being my usual
prompt self, I finally corrected that today. While doing so, I got to
running other numbers and was a little surprised: Since buying the coach
in Kerrville, TX on 30 April 1998, I've put 143,273 (corrected) mile on
it! That's better than 7000 miles per year.
On only 3 Olds 455's (with 3 overhauls) and 2 Cad 500's (with 3
overhauls)! Gotta tell you, though, the second of those Olds engines, the
first I'd built in over 30 years at the time, now has 80,000+ miles on it
in my son's GMC. And the latest Cad 500 has 60,000+ on it.
There are others with lots more miles than that, but those have sure been
happy ones for us (except for a few little "adventures")!
