A thousand miles and other markers

For the first time since I've had all 4 older Monte Carlos (1972, 1976, 1979 and 1981), I drove EACH of them at least 1,000 miles in 2009. I came close to that milestone in 2008, but fell just shy. Now, all 5 of my Monte Carlos are "sleeping" for the 2009-2010 winter ... awaiting their 2010 debut.

1972 MC STATS:

11/28/08 mileage ... 144,986
11/22/09 mileage ... 146,054
miles driven 11/28/08 to 11/22/09 = 1,068

In 2009, "Browny"'s odometer surpassed the 145,000 and 146,000 mileage markers.

miles driven 12/11/04 to 11/19/05 = 563
miles driven 11/19/05 to 11/24/06 = 497
miles driven 11/24/06 to 11/18/07 = 489
miles driven 11/18/07 to 11/28/08 = 957

miles driven since I bought the car (2002) = 10,062

1976 MC STATS:

11/28/08 mileage ... 60,140
11/22/09 mileage ... 61,215
miles driven 11/28/08 to 11/22/09 = 1,075

In 2009, "Elvira"'s odometer surpassed the 61,000 mileage marker.

miles driven 12/11/04 to 11/19/05 = 624
miles driven 11/19/05 to 11/24/06 = 527
miles driven 11/24/06 to 11/18/07 = 506
miles driven 11/18/07 to 11/28/08 = 930

miles driven since I bought the car (1998) = 18,713

1979 MC STATS:

11/28/08 mileage ... 143,261
11/22/09 mileage ... 144,333
miles driven 11/28/08 to 11/22/09 = 1,072

In 2009, "Sweet Pea"'s odometer surpassed the 144,000 mileage marker.

miles driven 12/11/04 to 11/19/05 = 586
miles driven 11/19/05 to 11/24/06 = 500
miles driven 11/24/06 to 11/18/07 = 483
miles driven 11/18/07 to 11/28/08 = 959

miles driven since I bought the car (1992) = 38,271 (29,015 on the engine installed September 1996)

1981 MC STATS:

11/28/08 mileage ... 191,486
11/22/09 mileage ... 192,574
miles driven 11/28/08 to 11/22/09 = 1,088

In 2009, "Sweet Tea"'s odometer surpassed the 192,000 and 192,500 mileage markers.

miles driven 12/11/04 to 11/19/05 = 645
miles driven 11/19/05 to 11/24/06 = 476
miles driven 11/24/06 to 11/18/07 = 482

In 2009, "Baby Blue"'s odometer surpassed (among others) the 165,000, 170,000 and 172,500 mileage markers.

Let see, on November 1st 2008 I hit 50,000 miles.

Right now on December 17th 2009 i'm at 93,064 miles...

So my Monte hit the 60,000, 70,000, 80,000, and 90,000 mile marks in 2009.

I'll be hitting the 100,000 mile mark in early 2010!
