Congrats on the milestone.

I was proud of just getting to 100K. I imagine 200K is very satisfying.

We have a lot in common. Loose creaky joints, missing teeth and a no - quit attitude!

Well done !

I’m trying to catch up with you as fast as I can. Must reduce my living expenses so I can devote more $$$ toward gasoline purchasing.

Good proof these engines will last and were designed to if taken care of and some of the tricky bits replaced (tensioners, cough, chains and tensioners) Beautiful mileage!

I think in Texas they say "put out to pasture". But, same thing.

Good one. If that was me, I would have seen the reading at 199,999 and watched it like a hawk, glanced briefly at the road for safety reasons, and looked back again to see 200,001.

Just don’t know how you did it!

I'll never admit it to my insurance company, but I did video it. Lol. It was a lot more fun with the old spinning wheels when you could watch it roll into view. Digital is rather anti - climatic.
