That is impressive, congrats.

Anyone that thinks a 240D is slow drives too fast.

We are advised to NOT judge ALL Muslims by the actions of a few lunatics, but we are encouraged to judge ALL gun owners by the actions of a few lunatics. Funny how that works

Congrats on that milestone!

Next time reset your trip odometer in advance of it so you can get something like this one:

We did that one by accident but now am always thinking ahead.

Cool, but I didn't plan ahead that much. Maybe when I hit 666,666 in a couple of years.

WOW!

I did 333,333 a couple years ago and thought that was great! Keep on going!

That '82 300D is a wonderful design, and you have taken such care to extend its life.
What a kick that we muse of the high mileage...
How many miles do you drive annually ?

Usually about 40-50K, I use it to travel all over the country. Next week I'm going to Philly.

Actually, I've never bothered to get one. Maybe when I get to a million miles?

You might not get good airflow to the radiator with all those badges on....

Nice shot, and congrats on keeping that baby on the road for so long.
I'm getting close to 300k.
