Default 70,000 miles this morning

Just rolled over to 70,000 miles this am. Happened to be taking a freeway exit fast in 3rd gear, glanced down to to check speed and noticed the 0000s rolling into place.

Kinda makes me sad to start hitting higher milestones. My baby is getting old and is no longer a low miler.

I need a hug. No, wait. Hold that thought. What I really need is coffee - haven't had my morning cup yet.

Anyone get the same melancholy feelings or am I just too sensitive of a guy?

Too sensitive, sorry

Mine is hitting 120,000 miles soon and I'm not worried, why should I

It's a Porsche that was designed to be driven not pampered

Yeah .. it's still a baby: go have that coffee!
My S4 just touched 70kKm before hibernation began - it needs less winter and more driving: where's that coffee ....

70K is nothing!!! Just starting to break in! Mine will flip 90K soon!! :>( I really wanted to take a picture at 88,928...but just missed it! So I also missed 89928 too! But the 89's had the digital dash, so it wouldn't look right.

My 89 had 70 on it 5 years ago when I bought it. The last 85 have been all mine. The more the merrier.

Too sensative. While low mileage is interesting to see, age is age.

200k+ miles and still rolling!

Sorry, no exact figures, the odometer was broken when I got it.
