Hopefully it will last for many more years. Bonus points for whoever guesses the make and model from this picture and double bonus points for the year.

That's nothing. I have 411,000 miles on my Datsun 510 and it's still running.

That's clearly a Yugo, and it'd explain his joy.  He's had it for 20 years....can't drive those things more'n 5000 miles a year

Here's an odometer pic I took a few years back from our 1990 Honda Accord.

The odometer shows 123456.7 miles  :D

Got rid of the car last year with 150K + on it.

I remember driving my very storied Plymouth Sundance and watching the odometer hit 100,000 miles.  I looked out the window to see something that I would remember for this momentous occasion.  Watching all those ODO wheels turn!!!  No kidding: I was driving in Western Washington and less than .1 miles later I passed a Port-A-Potty sitting for some reason in the woods.  I couldn't take my eyes off it, and figured it didn't bode well for my car.

A few months later my car blew a head gasket.  Now I'll never forget it.

Now I've got a BMW with 160K miles, a BMW with 104K miles, and a 1987 Toyota Tercel Wagon with 93K miles.

The Toyota just got smogged two weeks ago and had almost -no- emmissions.  Same for the other two.

 I hope I never need a new car.

As if on cue, the "check engine" light came on today.....  :hissy:

When you drive 9-10k miles per year, 100k is pretty significant.

I should be hitting 300K on my 1994 C1500 in the next month or so here. Had to drop an engine and tranny in at 270K, but for a V6, I'm not going to complain =)

It is an import, non-Honda, pre-2000.

Just cracked 210,000 on my Geo tracker a few days ago. The only thing I've ever had to replace is the alternator and the starter. Engine still purrs like a kitten.

Getting ready to sell our '89 volvo 740 with about 290,000 miles on it. There is a fault in the mileage/speed wiring that has the speedometer cut out sometimes, so the gauge only shows 285,000. Runs great, but currently out of commision for a timing belt replacement.

"new" car is a '94 Volvo 850 turbo with an ultra low 187,000 miles  :laugh2:. It's the baby of the group. Just finished some front end work and tires. Now it's ready to go another 50,000 miles.

My Civic is at about 105k.  The wife's Elantra is probably approaching 15k.
