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.

"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...
