i got the 93 in July '07 when i turned 16. had right around 140k then. so i've had it just short of 8 years now. it has been on a long journey, going from stock, to a plethora a go fast parts, to now, with 206k miles, back to stock, but still on air.
the 96 LSC i got in october '13 with approx 184k miles. opalescent on grey 96 LSC. what i had been wanting for years. not the nicest example, but it was in my price range and a solid driver, and most importantly, mine.
the 96 got all the go fast parts from the 93, and a few more. and has been an excellent car. its about 20 miles from 200k.
so to date, basically my entire driving career has been behind the wheel of an VIII. gotta tell ya, its not a bad place to be.

I went 400 miles to Columbus Ohio to pick up my 97 LSC in June 2009. The car had 82,000 miles at the time. The day it got home:
Added some funky 19 inch wheels and did a lot of work to the car, the car had a book full of maintenance items and had a brand new transmission when I got it. I decided in the summer of 2011 to rebuild the front suspension. The passenger side went fine but then I had massive problems with the drivers side. The car has now sat for 4 years with a stuck strut rod nut that has defied fire, a 3 foot breaker bar pipe combo and a nut splitter. It sits under about a half inch of dust with 89,000 miles waiting for me to get the time to try once again to get it back on the road.

Pretty car. Sorry to hear that it's sitting right now.
If your stuck nut is the rear one, I may have had a similar experience. Mine would unscrew only an inch or so, and stick.. I found that if I re-tightened it, one strand of nylon from the nut would be exposed that was being pulled back into the threads as I tried to remove it, locking it completely. cutting that off solved the problem entirely.
