A small historic moment for Chester (my car)
 
Just wanted to share.. :)

Last saturday on my way back from a club meet, my car reached a historic moment in its life. Though knowing car owners in our country, when they sell cars, they usually rollback the odometer to make it look "young", so I would think this car actually has more KMs in it.

Anyway, my car just reached 200,000KM on its odometer.. just wanted to share..:D

199,999KM

With that said, is this truly the first time it reached 200K?;)

congrats... Eva just rolled 275k miles or 442,567 kilometers... only 57,433 kilometers to go :)

Congrats, I just figured out mine is currently 639K km. :eek:

Nice, and a good pic to have. I took pics when my F-150 rolled over 200,000 miles.

it probably has twice.. i wouldn't know.. coz I dont have the complete history on the car when I bought it. :D

Was just quite amused by the fact that it rolled on the 200K mark while I was driving it. My previous cars were sold even before it reached 200K.

My 115 was sold when it had 99,975KM but then again.. it only had 5 figures on it. :D

My 123 sedan was sold with about 185,000KM, unconfirmed.

My 4 year old honda was sold with about 85,000KM confirmed KMs on it, since I got this bnew.

so this was the first time I had a car that reached that.. but then again.. unconfirmed. It may as well be 500,000KM or maybe 1,000,000KM or maybe it actually has less!.. who knows.. but the car is running well.. so I have no qualms about it. :D

hmm. i think i'll take pix of my odo at that point, if the car is still with me.. :p

EDIT: just noticed that even your trip meter is synched with the odo.. nice touch!.. :D

Mike how is that sunroof seal holding up? :D

Congrats to Chester!

lietuviai 08-05-2007 10:54 PM

I was getting ready that it was going to happen so I reset the trip meter at 222K miles.

this was a pure coincidence, I filled up my tank at 266,000K and then reset the trip meter.
