Got bars?

Attained 100,000 miles last week WOO HOO!!

As it rolled over, I noticed these little bars appear. Pissed me off the first night, made the display too busy. But kinda like them now! A badge of honor!!

PS - photo taken on the Cross Island parkway in NY, driving about 60mph - I so wanted to get all the 100000 numbers in the pic!

Congrats? 10 years ago 100K was a milestone, but cars today should be able to go twice that.

I'll be there next year. My 2004 has 65K on it now.

Not all my 100k

I can't claim the first 89k as my own. A very lovely person in West Chester PA owned my car, until I picked it up last Oct. Getting a car with this high a mileage was the only way I was gonna get into a MB. Whoever they are, they took really good care of it, apart from a couple of little dings. The last 11k were my completely comfortable, gorgeous miles!

My car is in for service and tint (Oooooo - can't wait) and Enterprise gave me an Altima Hybrid. OMG - every mile is like death by a thousand cuts!!

I want my wagon back LOL
