My BMW 1992 525i/5 is the highest mileage car I’ve owned, at 271k miles. I’ve owned plenty of other BMW’s into the 200's, but nowhere near 271k. The crazy thing is that it still has its original paint, original engine, and original clutch. The engine still has great compression after all these years, likely because…

At 1968 I have a BEVY of choice automobiles from which to choose! Does it need to be affordable? The Lamborghini Islero S would be a great choice for my current interests.

It’s really just a way to fake-out the computer, as you do NOT want the friction brakes to work.
