That's nothing, you should have seen my first car, a 1980 Chevrolet Malibu, roll over to 0.

Seriously though, congrats!

Meh...convert to miles.

2nd pic, the T is almost blurred out. Hope it's not a sign.

At first glance I thought it was 999,999.9miles and was impressed. Then i saw it was Kilometers and was less impressed. Then I saw that it was actually 99,999.9km and am no longer impressed but now fully understand why this 'might' be horrible.
It is the magic number for depreciation I guess. You can no longer write 'less than 100,000km' on any sales pitch.

and for the record, my Mk1.5 MR2 has 228,000km. but only 62000km on the engine.

Just a glare.

I am still crying a little.

Bought the car brand new on March 9th 2005. 100k almost 8 years later to the day.

12,000 miles (derp KM) a year? You must not drive it much.

I thought 12,000 was fairly average. I went 4 years with an average of 6,000 per year until I switched positions at work and don't travel nearly as much.

That's only 62k miles. Horrible not found. Stressing out over absolutely nothing.

My 02 Trailblazer has 171k miles, or 275km.

Only 62k miles. Had an old 93 Dodge Cummins with 400k miles on it before I sold it. Original motor and tranny(manual).
