Challenge Entry

Monumental Automotive Milestone

I've been nearing this milestone for some time. Spending a month in Mexico simply delayed the inevitable.
However, today was the day.
For my truck, this day has been 17 years in the making.
For me, I've been driving toward this day for 14 years.

I'm entering this into the weekly challenge because all those digits represent 200,000 miles.

    Wow....I probably would have never noticed it turning over!

    Congrats, Chris, not just for the mileage but making it fit into the challenge. Our last car, a hyundai Santa Fe, we had 148 Thousand and change when we traded it in. But that only took 5 years or so. We drive a lot.

    I'm hoping I can get another 100,000 miles out of it. If I can make it last that long, I might be able to afford another one.
