You’ve had it since new?  I’ve passed 200k in a few cars but usually ones discarded by the original owner 100k or so earlier.

200,000 is the new 100,000.

Which is really pretty amazing.

240K is the distance when it’s most favorable for us to go there ... bon chance Buzz!

I am old enough to remember when cars had 5 digit odometers, and would “turn over.” It was a different time.

Same.

Although the A/C isn't quite as ice-cold as it was when I got the MJ six years ago.

Congrats! I'm up to 188k in the Saab. Just another 12k to go!

No, I bought it in 2014 at 134k

If I tried to take it at speed I probably would have missed the correct tenth on the trip.

...Also it's dark, there was a massive thunderstorm that had already put two cars in the ditch, and I was surrounded by trucks

There’s a few steps in  between, but someday

Well that’s honestly more impressive.

I think maybe I’ve spent too much time in an old house that someone else “ maintained” but some days I dwell too much on how much the little things that slip under the radar can blow up later. Hope it lasts another good 100,000!

Congrats! 200k is always a really fun one. My RX just made it past the moon and hit 240k last Tuesday! I’m glad to hear your OBXT is still holding up well . Whenever it’s time for the RX to go, I’ll be really tempted to replace it with one.

I’m willing to replace/repair anything short of terminal body cancer, so she should make 300k, knock on wood.

290ish if my math is correct. It probably isn’t. It eclipsed 260,000 in 2014.

Odometer broken?

Old enough? Ford europe had that till 1998 in the escort!

Sadly, we’re selling our car with 209k... but it would be an expensive trip to the moon from 200-250 so that’s partly why it’s going away.

Congrats, and here’s to many more miles hopefully.

To be fair, it was an Escort ...
