Default It finally happened...

Well, I wasn't sure where to post this, and I only want to post it in one place, so I figured this is it. It happened while planning a cruise in the Southeast topic area...

The '85 clicked over to 200,000 miles on the way home from our "Fall Skyline cruise planning cruise" today. Stopped and took some pics.

This car owes me nothing... :lol:

Dave, yup, lots of memories. Some of them are even good! ;) Frankly, I really enjoy this car. We've had our "ups and downs" but we're still going strong! She's scheduled to do Mid America's fun Fest in two weeks, has already done NCM and goes upstate NY on a regular basis.

Ed, I usually bring the '71 to Skyline but maybe I'll give the 'ol gal a treat! After all, she did just give me the fastest ride I ever had up US-211... :eek:
