awesome picture.

I will get to 333,333 in 2-3 years hopefully.

That is great!

That is impressive, congrats.

The rate you are going, you will be to the next grill badge in no time.

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.

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

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

WOW!

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

Congrats for sure,
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. :D

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

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

jonbobshinigin 10-09-2010 03:27 PM

Has anything major been done to the engine? How many miles were on it when you got it?

kerry 10-09-2010 03:39 PM

Don't be doing that stuff man. You're only encouraging those Ebay and Craigslist liars. Next thing you know you'll be telling us you get 35mpg on unfiltered WVO.
