Default 26 miles away

My 98 coupe is 26 miles away from 100,000. Probably hit it tomorrow on the way into work. Hoping when it turns to 100,000 there is a place I can pull over and take a picture. Any one else close to hitting a 100,000 this week?

I hit 150,000 on my 2001 vert a month or so ago. I was almost off the Chesapeake Bay Bridge on Rt 50 where I could not stop. Close to the end of the bridge so I was able to pull off the road and get a pick before it turned 150,001.

Nice work. I noticed the note for my next oil change is at 99,750. Scary to think I bought it 8 months ago with 72k on it.

<edit> I keep my display on instant mpg, I don't like to look at the miles.

I'm real close - only 80,152 miles to go.

Seriously, congrats on joining the 100K mile club. Hopefully the journey has been pretty much trouble free and will continue that way for a long time to come.

I am averaging 80 miles a day on my commute and such, but I hope to be on the bike most of the time real soon.

I've replaced the oil pressure sending unit and changed the clutch and everything that goes with the clutch job also did the fuel pumps while I was there. The car has been pretty much trouble free, Knock on wood.

Congrats on your milestone.

I have a few years to go to get 100k on my 04. I think it has about 35k on it now. One of these days it will get there.
