It's funny though, on my Vette I never have the odo showing 'cause I don't care to see the miles rack up on it. But I did watch the odo on my girlfriends Sebring the other night for about a minute waiting to see it roll over to 145,000. Not sure why though ha

I toot the horn for mileage milestones if I'm not in traffic. When it was 66,666 I had to drive her several extra miles. I like the numbers that are patterns like when mine was 69696. Hubby just shook his head when I told him to look!

Default Your wife is a very intelligent woman

She is obviously way out of your league. You should thank God daily, that you still have her.

Dude, if this actually happened, I know I'd go over the edge and have to get professional help. That would be too freaky for words.

The other night, while taking my granddaughter home, I noticed the mileage approaching 123,456. I thought I'd show it to her when it clicked over, maybe she'd get a kick out of it. A split second after it changed, she says, "Hey Grandpa, look at your mileage!" Cool kid, huh?

I had a roommate that would only eat french fries if they were all facing the same direction in her plate at a restaurant. This ranks up there with mileage milestones. I believe they have medication for this condition, LOL ;o

I guess I have OCD too. I just took this in my Silverado... no milestones in the vette yet but it's coming up on 50k.

I took a camera full of pictures the day I got my Vette but that's been all since. I do have a collage of them on the wall behind my computer so I look at them every time I sit down at my desk.

sign me up for said medication... I am not as bad as the french fry thing, but I organize my food on my plate and eat a certain way. I eat any colored candy (skittles, m&m's, etc) by color, and I have certain processes I follow for things like my work day, washing the car, and a few other things that if my "plan" gets screwed up, it just ruins everything for me!!

btw,
