Default 200,000 Miles

Loose Lucy turned over 200,000 miles today. Wow, never had a car go over 200K. Just dropped a pocket full of money for a set of new tires, just won Monte of the Month so I am certainly not looking to leave now. Here's to another 100 thousand.

Thank you all,
With good care and a little luck any car should last as long. I have only had one lemon car in my lifetime. No matter how much love I gave it there was regular problems that had me fed up, I curse the entire Ford Fox platform lineage all because of one ungrateful 79 Mercury.

Awesome! I got my 2001 ss in 2008 with around 94k miles. Just got over 156k recently and still runs strong. Maybe I'll make it to 200k some day.

That's always a fun milestone. I've had several vehicles go over 200. My grand prix was close before it was wrecked. I think I've only had 2 vehicles that had under 100k miles when I bought them (my Dale Jr Monte and a Dakota I bought on Active Duty). My Suburban that I had for years ended up with 307k miles before I let it go, and my 09 Titan has over 220k now and climbing. Still runs like new, and better fuel mileage than the EPA rating.

No one would likely ever guess, just by looking at it, that a car as clean-looking as Barovelli's would have traveled 200,000 miles. Excellent!
