Cool!

Milestones for 2010:

August 3rd made 10 years I'd owned my Jeep.

And last Friday, the odometer read 123456.

Two milestones in October. My 2005 Silverado hit 10,000 miles almost six years to the date of my getting it.

The other milestone is that I hit 50,000 miles on my 2001 Lexus IS300.

You don't drive much!

My third vehicle, the '94 Prelude with 133K miles, has relinquished its daily driver status over to the Lexus. I had to replace the head gasket on the Prelude, and the car has other problems including HVAC controls and radio not working (the ABS stopped working long ago). I bought the Silverado with the plan of making it the daily driver, but a full-size crew cab pickup does not make for a fun drive.

You don't drive much!

Who ... me?

I don't drive ENOUGH............lol.
