Rolled back into Okie Acres a little while ago with the CD. After picking it up Sunday I worked in Lubbock for the next couple of days and left Wednesday morning.  Most of the time I was there the temps were in the 70's.  When we left of course there was freezing fog all the way thru west

Absolutely. But they’re pretty robust cars. I know of two people who have run Centurys over 300k - one of them is across the street from me right now. I can’t speak to the latest ones like a 2014 or later, but the 90s and 2000 models have held up well. The mom in law’s 2015 LaCrosse is a very
