That's a lot of hours, in a 190!
Let's see these monuments to Rudolph.

Omega,

Congrats! When I was racking up miles in my old SDL one of the members here set an arbitrary goal of driving his car "to the moon and back". I looked it up and believe an average distance to the moon is around 240,000 miles. So you have made it there and back!

I told my daughters I had made it to the moon in my car, then sold it around 280K. They were so disappointed, they said "you'll never get back from the moon". I'm on my next mission with the newer 300SD. I crossed 150K on the coffee day going to GA. Look out lunar lander, here I come!
