One Hundred Thousand YO!
My truck crossed the 100,000 mile mark (160 934.4 kilometers! -- more than 4x's around the Earth!) this morning. It has served me very well over the years, and has been with me the longest of any of my vehicles. We've been through a lot together, YO and I. (That sounds funny in Spanish, I know. :P) Here's hoping for another 100,000 miles... though I'm worried I damaged the engine a few thousand miles ago.
I accidentally dropped into too low a gear during an emergency bid for some acceleration on the Garden State Raceway Parkway. I emerged unscathed, but now her values rattle horribly at higher RPMs. So until I address the problem, we drive a little more delicately these days and the slow lane is our constant companion.
Way to go, my little YO!
