because now it is over 235200
I click off 100'* like normal people click off 1'*
Am I normal? I click off close to 50 miles a day.
50 miles a day for avg 20 days per month for 12 months = 12000 miles. That is average

Well not to revive a dead thread, but it'* not a cool prediction or a joke anymore. My Odometer is flaking out at 182,158. It works and doesn't work at times now. I can just see it stopping on 182,244...... You've cursed my car!!! NOO!!!!!!

I have 161,4xx and I do literraly all the maintence. Oil changes, fulid and filter for the trans. Regularly clean all the seats. If it is well taken care of, it will run forever. You guys kill me with you oil cahnges being over 3K. I has been "tottaled" once (to my knowledge ) and I don't ever seeing it quit, and if it does; I;'ll be right there with it.
