Default Well... it finally happened....

got home last night, and as I'm pulling into the driveway...

*BLING!*

my odometer read 100,000 miles on the nose!



so, now I'm at 100,040 miles, since I drove to work this morning... hehe...

hopefully she lasts for at least another 50,000... this is the longest I've kept a vehicle... can't afford a new car at this point...

Wow, I'm so used to seeing "bad transmission" threads that when I read your title I immediately thought, "oh no his tranny crapped out."

But congrats on the 100k, I'm sure you will get plenty more miles out of her! I just put mine away for the winter with 74,3xx miles and probably wont break 100k until Spring of 2012.

I have to admit, I thought the same thing! Kind of sad that we are so pessimistic, right!

"only" 100k??? hell, i'd like it to be less!! but the 80 miles a day just for my work commute doesn't help that hahaha...

20k miles a year is enough for me... hehe...
