My Caddy turned 50,000 miles today...

Post by Jarlaxle »

...but since the odometer resets at 100K, I'm not entirely sure if I have 250,000 or (what I think is the case) 350,000 miles. Of course...that IS over the course of more than thirty years! (The car is a 1979.) And after driving home in the pouring rain, I think I need to spend some time washing and polishing this weekend. (Frigging black paint...)

Damn near twenty years now. (I have been racking my brain to remember exactly when I bought it and am drawing a blank.)

Holy shit, I think that means I am getting old! :(

That's a long way to lug a bag of golf clubs...

Actually, I do not think the car has EVER had golf clubs in it.

Perhaps a corpse in the trunk, then.

Your collective inability to acknowledge this obvious truth makes you all look like fools.

:lol: It took a while.
For Christianity, by identifying truth with faith, must teach-and, properly understood, does teach-that any interference with the truth is immoral. A Christian with faith has nothing to fear from the facts

If I never drove it, it wouldn't have 37,000 miles on it.

I put that on my Magnum in a year. Why own a truck you put less than 4000 miles on in a year? Waste of money.

About the same as my Cherokee, then. :) I didn't think Subaru sold the Outback in Australia...I thought it was US and Canada only.
