under-running?

Hey 130HP,

You are lucky man, I have a 2002 which is 10 months old and I have 25,500kms...

DAMN!... I'll finish my warranty within 2 years !

She still drives like new

Thumbs up

Your just fine I got mine new a 2000TL DEC 28,1999.
It had 11 miles on it when I got it I have a bit over 21,000 miles on it. I just put 141 highway miles on it this mourning& the same on Thursday. Next Sunday is the PARK AVE ACURA meet that will be another 470 highway miles round trip. The car is running like a dream. When I get back from PAA its almost time for the 22K service. The one thing I am still well within the warranty. I cold even put another 10,000 miles on it & be safe. I will put new tires on it next year & that would make it even better.
