1. Congratulations, ZombyCar!

Now -- does your odometer go up to 1,000,000, or did it flip back over to 0?

[Zomby Woof]

8. it goes that extra digit!

[EstimatedProphet]

2. So how's it run?

100K isn't really very high in AZ I know

[Zomby Woof]

10. 12 year old Elantra

Spent its first 11 years in Seattle, in limited commuter traffic mostly. Made one round trip to Wyoming, and a one-way drive to AZ.

4. Mine rolled over a

couple of months ago. Have you had you timing chain checked? I had mine replaced. In some cars if it breaks, it kills the whole engine...

[Zomby Woof]

11. had it replaced at 90K

I don't fucketh with the timing belt.

23. Wise be the man...

14. Mitz is one of those. $150 belt change vs Thousands...or junking the car.

6. In ONE DAY?!

Shit man, you were BUSY! :D

I'm at 96 or 97k in my little car. I'm right behind ya. Of course when I bought that car from my folks in summer 2001, it had 30,000 miles. I do a little driving. :D

7. Did it hurt? How fast were you going?

and where were the temp, gas and alternater gauges? that is critical.

[Zomby Woof]

12. about 20 on a ramp near my place

9. Just getting broken in good! Ours topped 200K recently.

Many Makes/Models seem to do high milage better than any used to.

21. you give me hope

'91 Pontiac Sunbird w/163,000 miles. I love my car, repairs and all.

13. Another 120,000

and you'll be catching up to my toyota. I sent the truck to my son a few weeks ago; it runs great and he'll get another 100,000 out of it, easily.

I'm driving his Civic; 130,000. In the next couple of months, it goes to the oldest son, and I get something new.

15. Man you not only got a hell of a commute but

you really should slow down. Stop and smell the roses. And the Ethels and Eunices, etc.

16. Congratulations....

.....RIDE ON! :toast:

It's another lonely evening
And another lonely town
But I ain't too young to worry
And I ain't too old to cry
When a woman gets me down
Got another empty bottle
And another empty bed
Ain't too young to admit it
And I'm not too old to lie
I'm just another empty head

That's why I'm lonely
I'm so lonely
But I know what I'm gonna do -

I'm gonna ride on
Ride on
Ride on, standing on the edge of the road
Ride on, thumb in the air
Ride on, one of these days I'm gonna
Ride on, change my evil ways
Till then I'll just keep dragging on

Broke another promise
And I broke another heart
But I ain't too young to realize
That I ain't too old to try
Try to get back to the start
And it's another red light nightmare
Another red light street
And I ain't too old to hurry
Cause I ain't too old to die
But I sure am hard to beat

But I'm lonely
Lord I'm lonely
What am I gonna do -

Ride on
Ride on, got myself a one-way ticket
Ride on
Ride on, going the wrong way
Ride on, gonna change my evil ways
Ride on, one of these days
One of these days

Ride on
Ride on
I'm gonna ride on
Ride on, looking for a truck
Ride on
Ride on, keep on riding
Riding on and on and on

17. oh MEMORIES

19. I retired my trusty Explorer

a few months ago at 260,000. 7 years of a 100 mile per day commute. The only major work it needed was a transmission rebuild at 150k. It still runs fine, and is in my driveway for "emergency" transportation. Yeah, I know it's considered a (HORRORS!) SUV, but it's the most reliable vehicle I ever owned...

[nini]

20. rookie..

mine's at 215,000 and counting. Drives like a dream.

:P

[MrSandman]

22. 205k on my F150

[BigBigBear]

24. 152k on my Dakota

still paying for it, too.

Long story, please don't ask.

[MiddleRiverRefugee]

25. 117K out of a 1991 VW Jetta...

but I got 250K out of my Ford Ranger pickup, so my expectations are high for this car.
