300 sdl just hit 300000 miles

just hit the 300000 mile mark. seems like the drive train will last forever. if only the body and suspension would last that long.

Congratulations. Keeping the driver's seat comfortable is another problem area. It's satisfying to drive a high mile car.

Congrats on snapping the pic. I've never managed to catch a rollover in a pic, and only once did I actually pay attention to it (200,000).

I'll second the remark on the driver's seat, especially for those of us with larger dimensional issues....

A well-maintained high mileage car can have a very unique feel to it. Sort of well broken in, I guess.

Love it! I've turned 300k in a few gassers, and 500k in one. But it's a feeling like you're running from a tidal wave. I'd love the non-chalant feeling of a rollover in a diesel.
