200,000 miles

198,436 miles
Holy cow! Can you believe the car has almost 200,000 miles on it!? I mean, who actually gets 200,000 miles on their car!? That'll be pretty cool, hitting 200k, kinda like joining an elite club.

198,849 miles
Hmm, 200,000 miles is a pretty big deal. I should probably get the oil changed or something; it's been a while since I did that. Was that a whole year and a half ago? Wow, I should really get that done.

199,281 miles
Good call on opting for the fuel injection system cleaning with the oil change. The old girl's got a bit more spring in her step. Almost 200,000 miles and still going strong at 34mpg.

199,772 miles
I should totally write a blog post about my car hitting the 200,000 mile mark! That's super nerdy! I'll have to remember to bring the camera so I can get a pitcure of the rollover. Ooh, maybe I'll take a video... nah, that's lame.

199,915 miles
It's getting so close! Don't forget the camera, don't forget the camera, don't forget the camera!

199,991 miles
Aw crap, I forgot the camera! Maybe I can make it home before it hits 200,000.

199,997 miles
Dangit, I don't think I'm going to make it. 200,000 miles, though! How cool is that!?

199,999 miles
Woah! The last mile before the big one! Man, I love the way that looks on the odometer. Wait for it... wait for it... here it comes...!

200,000 miles
Holy crap! Did you see the way all the numbers rolled up at the same time? That was awesome! I mean, that only happens every 100,000 miles! I feel like I should do something special, like get the car a present or something. I'm all awash with the awe of this incredible milestone!

200,001 miles
Huh... that number doesn't look quite as cool. I mean it's big and all, but it just doesn't carry the same excitement.

200,004 miles
Wow, that was actually not nearly as cool as it seemed like it should have been. I'm feeling a little let down. For heaven's sake, isn't something exciting supposed to happen when your car turns 200,000?

200,056 miles
You know, this car has a lot of miles on it. Makes you feel a little insecure doesn't it? Maybe we should look at buying a new one.
