A "Mile(age)stone" was hit today



Category: Puttering Around The House | Posted: Sun May 06, 2007 12:02 am

I have never owned a car that hit the 100,000 mile mark. Several years ago we bought a 1978 Mercedes Sedan with well over 200,000 miles but then a Mercedes is supposed to last almost forever. Before we sold it, we had reached at least 250,000 before the odometer quit working and got a Grill Badge from Mercedes Benz.
When the transmission went out we decided it was time to buy a new car instead of putting more money into a used one. So January 2nd, 2001 we bought a brand new Mitsubishi Galant just off the delivery truck, it had only 1 mile on it. Today it rolled, clicked actually since it is a digital odometer and not the rolling type, 100,000 miles. We took it out for a drive so we could get these pictures when it happened.

Since Randy faithfully changes the oil and filter every 3000 miles, it should last us many more miles.

i have a 94 toyota truck with 289,000 and a 93 ford prob gt with 185,000miles both run fine. changing the oil in any car will help most well built autos last a very long time.

That's a lot of driving Toni. Just so you know the diameter of the earth is 7,926.41 miles *shock* :)

Sorry what I actually meant to mention was circumference of the earth. That's 24,901.55 miles.
4 times around Toni :D
