I think your airbag light is on

Congrats on the 100k. My car just turned 150 back a month or so ago...

Yep... The airbag light is most definitly on... I just couldn't be bothered to take it to the dealership and spend $100 for them to check everything over then turn the light off... Not worth it to me... I replaced all the parts with working parts so there is no reason for me to really care... Now the next time the car is in for a check-up, I may have them do it...

Funny enough, that is the only light I have ever seen on the dash of my svx (besides the usual start-up procedure when all of them come on)....

I predict your check engine light will come on tomorrow

...that is if the light isn't burned out.

Congrats on the milestone.

This occasion is almost as large as that picture.

I know it hurts now, but after another 2k you start to appreciate a well-running high-mileage engine.

We'll see... I'm going Autocrossing in Winston Salem so I'll let ya know after a day of Autocrossing if that has killed the engine... Doubt it though

Congrats on the 100K, it probably happens once in a life in this car.

If the airbag light is ON, do you think your airbags are still definitely working?


PS: You don't need the automatic-shift indicator on your dash now!

wow you took the photo at 35mph -- if you got pulled over it would be quite an excuse -- but officer my SVX just turned 100K and I wanted to post a photo at speed....

Ho, I took pics at 60mph before...

My teal svx is@her 70k, with my rate on this car, another 10, 20, 30yrs...it won't touch 100k for sure...

PS: but I drive easily around 3000miles/month, for sure more than 3000miles if I drive out of town one or two times...

My 240 will hit 100k twice... once with the old engine, and has about 30k on the new one :-D

I turned over a couple major milestones at relative speeds. I turned 100k over at 100mph and 110k at 110mph.

Then I stopped doing that, because it was inconvenient and stupid.

i've always pulled over to take odomoter pics. it was still incovenient, but not stupid.

i did, however take outisde temperature pics while driving. most likely at lower-than-posted speeds.
