Cool One Hundred THOUSAND miles....or now I have a new car with 4 miles on it.

Boring topic I know, but I just had to share with all of you. Odometer rolled over 100,000 miles on the way home tonight. Been years since I had a car that showed that low a milage. Now the fun begins, all the preventive maintenance I have to do.

Enjoy,
Bill

I have been thinking of posting this question for a while so now that you bring the subject up. I have an 84 with about 96k on it and was wondering if it is really 196k. I assume that once it rolls over there is really no way of knowing that it is over 100k or 200k?

Yup. I guess this is why they changed to 6 digits on the 85.5.

Me, I'm enough of a geek to have taken a picture when mine hit its century

Bill,

My 83 has over 100,000 more miles than yours, original engine and still runs strong. If you keep on top of the periodic maintenance like you say, they're definitely made to last!

Congratulations.
