Default Turned a BIG ONE Over

Well my high mileage coupe just keeps on rollin' 'em over. So far, so good!! Was gonna' try to match the speed-o to the odometer, but when it clicked over the freeway was too busy. Maybe next time.

It's easy to get them to that mileage, since they are way too much fun to drive!

I think going 100,000mph would be a little dangerous on street tires!
