On most cars, I would expect to replace the distrbutor cap every 100,000 miles (Ok, maybe not quite that many miles). In effect, GM has provided a throw away distributor because the whole unit lasts about as long as a good distributor cap. While it provides for good engine performance, it is a step backward as far as maintenance costs go.

But anyway, I just wanted to say hi. The opti has been debated to death. I heard that the temperature is going to be 50 degrees tomorrow afternoon so maybe I'll get to drop the top for the meet at the Texas Roadhouse.

Really looking forward t osee everybody's car.

PS. My wife just called me to tell me the car actually rolled 300,000 this morning. She took a picture of the odometer with her new camera phone. I think I'll make it part of my signature!
Now heres a man who can tell you exactly when an opti is about to go. Going on # 4 I give you credit, I did one and would hate to do it again! Good luck!
