Taking photos of your speedometer while hurling down the highway at 92MPH in a 25 year old car might make you a tad bit insane.

Good point I do need to change it! As for the badge I think i don't get the second one till 310k? I may be wrong but I seem to remember it was 500,000 km which is appx 310k miles maybe i did my math wrong though.

Awesome Polar!! Congrats!!

Something about knowing my car will still cruise doing tripple digits with over 300k on it makes me proud! Is it CRAZY??? F-yea it is somewhat but hey that's how I roll!!

I'm so getto!!! LMAO!!

Honestly the last time I wound my 84 300d up to 100mph on I-95 here in Florida it did well. The funny part was when i took my exit and stopped at the stop light i said "Hey someones car is smoking!!" Holy CRAP it's mine!!! I must of smoked off some of the leaking oil from it being heated up!?!?!

Congrats on crossing the 300k mark, just keep pointing the star into the wind and you should have the next grill badge in 6 months or so.

You should have had a shot of the tach also

OH, and by the way, the ticket is in the mail .
