"car ran great until the cam belt broke."

That's like saying the car until I smashed into a brick wall.

Wow, 210 thousand miles.
That begs the question- Who's got the most miles on their shark?

Turned 107,000 on the way to work today. I'm sure that's nowhere near the highest here.

Man, I feel sorry for the red S4 sitting behind it in one picture. Hope it doesn't have the same fate.......

I've 120K on the odo, but that's an eBay unit after the first one died. But it was intermittant before that. Call it at least 150k total.

The White Car had around 186K+ before we pulled out the instrument cluster earlier this year. And those were mostly our miles, it was purchased with around 30K on the clock.
