Among the myriad things happening in the garage today was some much needed attention spent on the truck; oil change, fixing a headlight full of water, etc. I noticed the mileage was 188878 and I thought about an earlier post from [livejournal.com profile] bigsabu on how he likes seeing patterns of numbers and how it sates the OCD in him. I had the camera out with me already (I was doing a photoshoot for a review of Mini Cooper oil filters - dont ask) and decided to take it with me during my post-maintenance test drive which I extended just a bit. It wont be long till I reach all zeroes for the third time.


No 'million mile' odometer here


This is for you, you big Sabu.

My fairly new ride has 188500+ miles on it and it's still going strong. :-)

I took a picture of my other car's odometer when it hit 88888 also... I was going to post it in response to BigSabu's post, but I'm pretty sure it's in my old phone and I was just too lazy to dig it out. :P

:D

I love it.

The only thing that could have made it better was if the number below it was a palindrome as well. Though that might have made my head explode from sheer joy.

And I'm even one of the tags!

*does the happy dance*

It's the thought that counts, sweetie.

It's the thought that counts... :D

Really.

See, seeing Phil nekkind while driving the truck as it hit 88888 miles would have made it better for me.

But that's just me.

Like this? X-D

Since it was sitting in the driveway since I took the pic, all I needed to do was cheat while resetting the trip odo.

Mine's just broken in. lol

I beat the crap out of this truck and it has treated me rather well. I rebuilt the trans a couple years ago at about 160K. I just recently rebuilt both driveshafts and the front axle shafts because the u-joints were coming apart.

Next truck I get will be a diesel as well. Can't beat 'em!

ooops I looked at my truck and it does not have a million mile odometer. but it could go to 999,999 before it has to rollover to 000,000 :-) it is a 1996 dodge with cummin turbodiesel.
