I no longer DD a five-figure-mileage car anymore.

Fun facts:

•This is the second top-trim midsized Mazda sedan I’ve crossed into the six-digit realm in.

•This is only my second solely-owned car I’ve had with under 100K miles on it. My wife’s 6 and our jointly-owned CX-5 don’t count.

•Both times I’ve crossed 100k, I’ve pulled off onto a side road alongside a Mobil On-The-Run to take a picture of the odometer.

The prior Mazda didn’t love live long past crossing 100k, as it was my first car, and got wrecked. Knock on wood, history won’t repeat itself, but if it does (unlikely, I’m 10-years accident-free and drive less than 50 miles a week), I’m in a good position to replace it, and I’m not so attached to it that such an event would have as much of an impact as before.

The other 5 cars I’ve owned have had more than 100K, so it’s a novelty to have such a “young” car. My second and third cars had well over 200K miles on them, so I'm less concerned with the quantity of the mileage than what it can mean for upcoming maintenance.

My last car made it to over 235k miles before it finally crapped out to the point of being too expensive to fix compared to its worth. Unfortunately, I didn't catch it when the odometer rolled over to 100K or 200K.

I'm less than 500 miles away from 50K on my current car. Hoping to own it long past 100K.

Woo. I should hit 100k on mine some time in the fall I think.

Here’s to another 100k

I’ve never DD’d a five-figure mileage car

I don’t think I’ve ever owned a vehicle that had less than 116k miles

Still haven’t heard back from the dealership yet, but it’s been a month and a half by now, for sure. I'll see if I can give them a call on Friday and ask where the fuck my clutch is.
