I can definitely relate. I purchased mine with 53.3k miles Feb. 2017. I'll be hitting 70k before the end of the year. I daily my car and have also driven to Hutto twice and Houston once. I wonder if I should be more conservative about the mileage but I just can't stop driving it.

That's just silly. It happens every thousand miles! Who would take a photo of that? Oh yeah... never mind. I did it, too . These cars really are an illness.

How in the world do you take a picture of your gauge cluster at 92 MPH? LOL..and then again, maybe I don't want to know.

What is silly is taking you phone out while driving 92 MPH in the dark and taking a photo. I really hope someone took this photo while someone else was driving, but from the angle I doubt it. For the people around you, please make better choices.

Knowing Flat6, he probably slowed down to take the pic.

Hiya' Dr.! 🙂 Nope, I was on the gas accelerating. Middle of the night with no other vehicles around me, while on the freeway. In Mexico, of course.
That speed in these cars is like 40 in a KIA.

My 2002 Cab was reading 72,000 miles when the engine blew up.

Sold it as a roller.
