While driving through the Ocala National Forest today I glanced down and caught my car hitting the century mark......ugh!

 

It's almost broken in now...
Congrats!

 

Congrats ....hate it when I miss seeing the milestones pass by!

Where before you could brag about "low mileage", now you can brag about how good the car runs/looks as the miles "pile on"


That's what I keep telling myself anyway! I bought mine with 43k miles 18 months ago, now it is up around 68k miles. Actually pretty average annual mileage, but kinda hate to see it piling on. But they're meant to be driven, so...

JT, at least you were in Sport mode when it happened. Congrats on the milestone!

 

Awww, your six is all grown up now! Congrats.

How many of us have pictures of our odo "miles"tones? I bet all. Just don't do it while you're driving.

 

Back in the day, any old American car that had hit 100k was considered to be a clunker just a couple of rpms away from the junkyard. Now 100k is hardly a landmark as great engines like the old 4.6 Ford V8 will easily hit 250k w/o any rebuild. We have all heard of and seen 200+k Toyota Camrys and Honda Accords, mostly four cylinders it seems. With the low value of almost all old Jags it would seem that the best idea is to drive them all the time and enjoy the ride! It's not like an extra hundred thousand miles is going to make it worth that much less. I just bought my '97 XJ6 with 140k and saw many offered with over 200k. I've got a lot of driving to do if I want to catch up!

 

Good point on the value of just driving them!
