Default 951 with human traits

As you may know, when people get older, they are getting shy about their actual age.
I had no idea that this also applied to my car, see picture below.

When the odometer turned 202k miles a sticker dropped down and blocked the view of the mileage (except the first and last digits).
To add insult to injury the odometer stopped working a month after that.

This actually happened almost 2 years ago, so my mileage now is about 215k miles.

What actually amazes me is the condition of the engine, which still feels “baby fresh” with lots of power and it just passed smog with “flying colors”, see below.

Oh cool. I'll get to reading but I gotta tell you I'm working on our Daewoo (yeah I know) broke the belt bent 16 valves. Roller disintgrated, apparently I did not get all the busted peices out, so shards jammed the belt and this time I got lucky and only bent 8 valves!

So yeah I'm way interested, no problems with the 951 but I would feel a lot better with my clearance!
