Today my 2000 Sonata turned 175,000 miles and I recorded the moment. I bought the car brand new. I have not had a car payment in 9 years

Yeah, I knew everyone would focus on the non important shit. No one saw the brake light is on. About to get its first set of rear brake replacement.

A Target security guard has no room to dispense manly advice Boot. No wonder you are a good caller, you get to practice in your truck all day circling the parking lot. Do you actually work for Target or Securitas?

That car has been a damn good car. I am about to send it to Jarbos family for some attention. And I hope it becomes high mileage Jarbo; its in really good shape body wise. Where does it hit the point you would call it high mileage?

Around 225,000, must hit 200,000 with minimal repairs to not be a lemon.

You're on the right track. I put 207,768 on my '04 mercury mountaineer before trading it in November 2011.

Really amazing. I remember when 100,000 miles was a death sentence for a car

Fuck yes I am. Your tax dollars provided the security to make it all possible. Dear leader will never invade S korea as long as the broken 2 party system is in power in washington.

My wife drives a korean car, too. It has 190,000 plus miles on it.

Until we get a 3rd party president, I will always buy korean cars.

I tend to disagree with you all on mileage. I believe that 250,000 is the new 100,000. There are five cars registered in the Warlock stable and only one is below 250,000. The leader is at 342,000 and on its way to a new home. I'm going to miss that car.

I knew a fella in Kansas City who actually got 680,000 on a ford mustang. Took two motors and several transmissions. He eventually had to junk it because the frame was rusted through.

That doesn't count, we're talking single engine mileage. My old jeep had 300k when I sold it and was still runnin good.

Our shop truck almost has 600,000 on it on the same motor. And 2nd transmission.



But it's from Canada so it is in Kilometers, but that's still pushing 400,000 miles.

This fella made Assateague look like a wreckless powerball winner. He still has the first dollar he ever earned.

I think the biggest milestone in transportation history will be when Jehler buys a subaru.
