How did you get that? I tried to catch when my Corolla's original gauge cluster ticked over to 200,000 but I missed it.

Careful. My 4Runner's engine didn't last much longer after it rolled through 444,444.4

Its a tricky shot to get. Last week I had to reset the trip ODO when I hit 333,300.0. The rest is timing....

Another quart of oil since it probably consumes some?

And your prize? That would be a Saturn. It should have about 333333.3 miles on it by now.

Oh yeah, just in case everyone forgot to tell you.

I'd like to get to this point with my SL2. Not sure I'll keep it for another 18+ years though. Damn some people drive a lot.

I would like to know the odds of a crash were when you were looking at the odo every half second watching the numbers turn

lolz... Oil is always within arms reach with this car. I fixed the oil burning issue but now it leaks oil.

This post reminds me of the time I watched the odometer in my father's 64 Plymounth Savoy roll over to 100,000 miles. That POS was worn out shortly thereafter. Whoever said they don't make'em like to used to is correct.

Couple of years ago on an Audi forum a guy posted a pic of his Allroad turning 100,000 miles at 100 MPH.

Now with my Miata at 118,000, and Passat at 107,000 I could probably replicate those but the Suburban at 226,000 would require JATO help to get to picture speed.

I remember watching the Trooper roll 200,000 miles but didn't take pics of it.

Is it normal for saturns to live that long? I never gave those cars a thought.

As long as you can feed them oil, yeah its pretty normal.

I hit 123,456 on the VW a week or two ago. Got a picture too. But the phone is now dead so not sure if I can save it.
