Hatterasguy, wanna race? We have almost identical mileage I think. First one to 250K wins. We can have a side bet on who spends the most on repairs before we get there:p .

Cool I'm at 235,655 as of this post. You betting against the "Money Pit" for who spends the most?

Your on I bet a slightly used MB glowplug.

I think maybe another $1-2k will be into her by the time she rolls over 250k. With my luck the tranny will blow and the head will crack next year.

Just checked - 234,518. So you have a head start. And my commute to work is all of 1.5 miles each way. Guess I better get started :p .

Oh, and my bet is a broken left rear spring that no one can find a problem with, that will finally break and leave me stranded somewhere.

My commute is about 15 miles each way, plus some other driving I average around 40-50 miles a day. This winter I'll roll on a bunch driving to the Florida Keys, plus a couple trips to VT this summer. You have your work cut out for you!:p

I am driving to the keys this summer and was planning to take the SDL but my wife decided to tag along and that means MINI VAN, uuuggghhh!

But now I have new incentive , Thanks Hatterasguy!.

By the way, a long time ago I sent you a PM, did you ever get it? I am a boater too.
In fact, off to the boat now! have a great 4th and keep that diesel parked so I can catch up

No I don't think I got your PM. Have fun, I was cleaning a boat yesterday, and I'll be out Sunday, and Monday.
