Am I the only one..

No, you are not the only one, but there's not many more. Maybe a half dozen people or so.

While yer watchin' those numbers, consult your owners manual about scheduled maintenance.(Timing belts, etc.)

i like when my post count flips.

ok.. ok

I take special note of these "milestones." Don't know that I get a kick out of it.

My post count hit 20707 tonight and I thought I wouldn't post for a while so I could savour it. Then, I made this post and spoiled it.

I bought a corolla brand new, in 1985 and noticed when it was getting up to the 100,000 mile mark.

I watched carefully, and pulled off the side of the road as the digits turned over.

I was on Dixie Highway, heading south, in Boca Raton Florida, just North of Yamato Road.

It had around 250,000 on it when some stupid driver ran a red light and totaled it.

I'll tell ya, that car had another 50,000 left in her.

see. Im not the only one.

I do have a camera phone picture of 50,000 and the 77777 and 78087

No significance to the 7's, it was just one of the very few times I got to see the numbers all the same.

usually, I see when it is coming,and make a point to watch closely.
A few days later, I see I missed it.

I have done that a few times.


by your post count, it looks like you have 'soiled' your number over 20 times now!

My 1990 Volvo has 58,509 miles on it.

Last month, I got so mad at the way State Farm Insurance was treating the people who lost their homes during Katrina that I cancelled my insurance, which I had maintain for 35 years. I switched to AAA and, to my surprise, I save over $300 per year.

When the agent took pictures of my car, he was surprised to see such low mileage on an 18 year old car. I explained that when I lived in California, I rode my electric scooter the 1/4 mile to my work office---except when it rained---for over 10 years.

I don't drive a lot in Albuquerque. My good old Volvo will probably out last me.

When I switched from State Farm to Geico, we saved over 150.00 on our six month policy.
I too had state farm for a long time.. In fact, they were my first insurance company and I never changed until geico.





I feel so unclean..

West Texas 1971
Had '55 Ford Blue and White.
Bought for $250.oo from little old staff sargent's little old wife.
He was always overseas and she didn't drive but to church.
Had 42,850 miles on it when I bought it
and the original white wall tires.
When it got to 49,979 I called my girl Jeannie West and told her we were going on a special date.
She got all dressed up.
I picked her up at her dad's house and we headed out 208 with the sun just starting to set.
About ten miles out of town the Ford rolled over the 50,000 mark.

I was excited for her.
Jeannie? Not so much.

We drove back to town, had an olive burger at McIntyre's and that was about it.

Joe(I called the staff sargent's wife. She was pleased to hear all about it)Nation

Ok, someone is on the payroll. How much they payin' you, shewolf?

Insurance?

you know..

that money you give every month that you get nothing for?

Like I said....not too important to me

Maybe I will hold of for an hour or so when I hit 22222 :wink:
