Today running errands,I saw it hit 140,000..I pulled over and took a quick picture with my phone.... (Deleted image that was no longer there) Sorry it's been moy own little countdown...When was it going to happen.... :-[ Title: Re: I hit 140,000 miles today!

Title: Re: I hit 140,000 miles today! Post by: Jim Gray on January 23, 2011, 06:53:46 pm Am I reading this right? It took you 4.5 years to put 9K miles on your truck? Is this your only vehicle?
Title: Re: I hit 140,000 miles today! Post by: Sunstroke on January 23, 2011, 08:52:15 pm ^^^ Thanks, I was wondering the same thing. Figured maybe Lil_B had another vehicle or cycle or something he used more regularly. Title: Re: I hit 140,000 miles today! Post by: bsfins on January 23, 2011, 08:54:32 pm Yes, you're reading it right...and the reason it was sort of a Kodak moment for me.....
Technically I own 3 vehicles,one I bought for my Mom,and I'm the top title holder (but it's her truck, I had to own it because She wasn't there when I bought it,because it was a surprise birthday present).Then I own a 1971 GMC truck,that is about to be retitled as a historical vehicle, because I drive it so little ,Less than 100 miles the past 2 years.... Within a 1-4 miles radius of my shack (in which I'm a homebody)...I have my work,(the last place I worked too)2 Walmart super centers,a Kmart, Big lots,4 Grocery stores (2 Dillons,2 Price cutters),A dollar general,3-4 flea markets, A movie theater (if I ever went) Just about every fast food joint (A few multiple times,2 Sonics, 3 Mcdonalds,2 BK's,2 steak and shakes off the top of my head).....My last job,Once I got to work, I used a company vehicle,and when I have to go anywhere now, 99.9% it's more than just me going, so we don't take my truck. I put more miles recently,when I worked 2 jobs for awhile... Too bad I don't run like Buddagirl,I would put even less miles on my truck,and be in great shape! Title: Re: I hit 140,000 miles today!

You drive 2k miles a year? Lucky...I do that in a 6 weeks. Title: Re: I hit 140,000 miles today! Post by: jtex316 on January 24, 2011, 10:05:43 am Shit. I'm already at 15k on a brand new car bought in March 2010. Not even 1 full year yet.
Title: Re: I hit 140,000 miles today! Post by: MyGodWearsAHoodie on January 24, 2011, 01:25:47 pm Since moving to Albany, I drive about 1000 miles per year on my car. The majority of my trips are measured in feet not miles as I need to move the car for the street cleaning weekly.
Title: Re: I hit 140,000 miles today! Post by: Buddhagirl on January 24, 2011, 01:58:49 pm I've had my Jetta for 2 years and it just turned over 10,000 miles. I don't drive anywhere.
Title: Re: I hit 140,000 miles today! Post by: AZ Fins Fan 55 on January 24, 2011, 02:47:41 pm I wish I could keep my milage down. I have 43,000 on my truck I bought two years ago and 18,000 on my Camro I purchased in April of last year.
Title: Re: I hit 140,000 miles today! Post by: bsfins on January 24, 2011, 02:52:39 pm ^^ but you have a cabin,away from your primary dwelling,and make trips to umm Vegas? ;) :D SOooo...I imagine those tack on some mileage...
Title: Re: I hit 140,000 miles today! Post by: AZ Fins Fan 55 on January 24, 2011, 02:54:44 pm True but my wife and I also work 30 miles from home which round trip daily adds up. I also do a lot of off roading in my truck on weekends so I am sure that does not help either.
Title: Re: I hit 140,000 miles today! Post by: bsfins on June 29, 2013, 06:32:47 pm Ok, so I pulled into my drive way this afternoon,and it was 144,999...Ran to get gas for the lawn mower,rolled 145,000 at the stop sign by my house....
(http://www.mediafire.com/convkey/fd0b/f3c8zd0tje4iopo6g.jpg) I've been driving more by the quick 5,000 miles in such a short time,(compared to the last milestone) I've been driving my truck more at work,driving my Mom to her doctor appointments,and going down to my "wife's " house has really added some miles quickly. Hopefully this isn't a T&A milestone post.... :D |
