Dang the US for not using SI units! I hope (but doubt) that my car will reach that level in miles.

This is just a jab at me because somehow you know that I missed taking a picture of my 100,000 milestone isn’t it?!

Too bad the trip odometer doesn’t say “653.6″.

I bought my car about 2000 miles after that point in km (and I have the software to change the setting to mi from km), sadly.

103,000 miles until I hit that point in mi. It’s actually likely, with this engine, though… except I don’t drive much in a year, so rust will probably get the car before I put 103,000 more on it.

I totally missed out on this one (did get my 300k and 333k tho ). Funny thing is the odometer pictured is identical to mine (from a 90ish jeep cherokee).

I was halfway through a response saying I have a car near that amount, and a previous car that was 51k km beyond that, and then I realized what the odo reading actually was… nicely done.

Only 93,000 more “units” before I have that in *miles* on my Toyota… if it makes it that far!
