A Volvo which almost had a million miles on it was "flat-bedded" to New York's Times Square, there they off-loaded the Volvo and allowed the odometer to turn to the 1,000,000 miles. All on film (video). It was all sponsored by the Volvo factory and the driver received a new Volvo... let's see a 993 do that... maybe the factory will cough up a new GT3.

Congrats for the "carefree" miles! Just keep it going!

Reached the milestone around Tazwell VA. Here are some photos. She looks a bit dirty but has been on the road.

In Virginia you are allowed to air it out when your car crosses certain milestones, (100k, 200k, 250k, etc) or at least that's what I believe.
Here is the data on the Garmen from by last road trip. You gotta air it out if you want your car to last.

This should earn lifetime member status.
So now that you've achieved your goal of 250,000 miles, what's next? Hopefully another 250,000.

Great pics!

I like checking the Garmin when I get back from a trip. And kilometres seem to be more impressive.
