50,000 miles
« on: September 20, 2017, 01:58:25 »
My odometer turned over 50,000 miles on Interstate 81 in Virginia on the way to PUB.  Not the greatest picture but considering the traffic and location It was the best I could do. I am working hard at increasing the annual average!

Nicely done Ralph, no need for the picture anyway in all that traffic, more important to be safe :)

My car in the past 4 years averaged 4,000 Miles/Year the previous owner only put on 4,000 miles in 20+ years ... my car must have been very sad back then, now she is a happy camper.

Was nice to see you at PUB,

Best Dieter

My car, Bella,  joined the 50,000 miles club as we were driving back from the Pagoda 50th celebrations in 2013.  I have done 8000miles since then.  ;D ;D
