100K and counting!

Turned over 100,000 miles last night on the way home - first time I've ever owned a car with that many miles on it.

From the records, she's on the original tranny and wheel bearings, and everything seems to be working fine.

I was on a deserted road, and slowed down to 25 so the speedo needle wouldn't cover the odometer as it rolled over. Got home and drank a beer in celebration (not that I need that many excuses to drink a beer).

Congratulations, Dick. I passed 100k about three years ago in my SVX. It was a proud moment, but I was by no means surprised to see the car last that long. The Justy is my only current car that isn't past 100k - and it'll be there in a few months.

Anyway, here's to 100k more!

I remember the day about 2 years ago when mine changed. I wasnt aware of how close it was, and actually had lent my car to a friend that afternoon. He had the car when it changed, but was thoughtful enough to find my camera in the console and take a couple pics.

Congrats, Dick. I've got one that's on its way to 140K and another that will hit 200K sooner than I'd like.

As for the beer, I've made it a rule never to drink beer unless I'm by myself or with somebody, and then, only on days ending in the letter "Y."

Significant Technical Input
Congrats Dick, mine turned 100 last night also, what a coinkydink! I didn't have to slow down for the event though, I was already stuck behind a PBH in a Taurus. Apparently she was scared to drive on the snow. Or maybe she drives like that all the time...

Thumbs up She's still a pup, Dick!

With luck, she'll never be a full-fledged dog.

Thumbs up ...only 100K?

Now that I stink about it I'm STILL working on the FIRST 100K on my ' 92, being as I'm at 98K...

With just 128+ on the '91 420SEL, 176+ on the ' 87 F250, 62 on the ' 84 Town Car (which I've only had since August), just 18 on the ' 93 ZX-11 and a paltry 10K on my ' 74 H2 750.

On of my buddies lookled under the hood of the SVX the other day and said "I want to buy all my used cars from you!" I told him if you buy a well-engineered vehicle and keep it in good shape, do a little extra in the way of PM on a regular basis and there is a good chance it should provide great service for a decade or two.

I feel the SVX is in this category but it does not suffer fools for owners very well.
