250,000 mile club
I finally made it to the quarter million mile club! Last night, driving home from the airport. I need to transfer the pic from my phone to the PC. I took it this morning.
I am 50,000 miles away from beating an old '83 (Datsun) Nissan Maxima I had. It finally quit after 300,000 miles. Engine on it died, tranny was still strong. Since it was the ex-wife's car, It got donated to her sister, who's hubby said he could put another engine in it...that never happened, so the sold it for scrap.

Unofficially I hit it about a month ago. Officially, my odometer stopped working 3 months ago at 248,846. Gonna fix it when I get back from vacation.

Nice job Ralphie! Car looks too good to have 1/4 million miles on it. Sure is nice to have that many miles on it and be cold in the summer.
I'm 20K away in the Squash, but have decided I'm gonna sell that one so somebody else will hit the mark in it. The wagon is about 28K away, and the most likely for me to hit the mark in. China is still under 150K, but the engine {from Scar, rip} has about 306K. Runs great too. I love the odo pics folks have. Truly a badge of honor with these cars.....

Thanks Jimmy! Well, the failed clear coat on the roof and trunk lend to the aged look...
Squash is a pretty car...If I could afford it...

Congratulations!
I was getting new rear tires mounted last night at PepBoys and the wagon created quite a stir there. I watched like a hawk to make sure nobody screwed anything up. Anyway ... a few guys came out to chat with me due to their amazement at my wagon having 370K miles and running so well. I had a similar experience earlier this week at the garage where it passed state inspection. It's cool when you get positive comments along with ooohs and ahhs.

Consider that my car is 26 y/o, it still equates to less than 10k miles per year of age. You 85 and 89 have excellent low mileage bragging rights.
