^^^ That was my thread on the MONUMENTAL EVENT...
...here is the first post with pics! (First week July, 2009 just a few miles from home... NOTE: TEMP is still not up all the way!)
^^^ TA-DA!!!
100,000 miles and STILL running GREAT and looking GOOD!
"I love what you do for me, TOYOTA!" LOL!
...on an interesting note, within ONE WEEK (six days) of the 2004 Solara reaching the milestone... my FOURTEEN-PLUS YEAR owned 20-year old 1989 SUPRA turned the SAME TICK on the clock just this week! WOOT!
The Supra ODO is a little off, as I was turning fast-clock with different rear-end pig ratios over the years, but it's a milestone, all the same!
^^^ When I looked UP and REALIZED that the Supra was at 100k, I DIDN'T HAVE MY CAMERA WITH ME and I was 30 miles from HOME! DOH!
I dug around in the car, and my spare camera was NOT there either, but I DID find a chincy toy "Hello Kitty" digital camera my daughter left on the picnic table one day as it started to rain, and I had grabbed it running out to the car! It was in the center console, with NO batteries, and NO memory card. I sat there by the side of the road, 100,000 miles on the clock of this, my most prized possession (material) as I contemplated my dilemma... and then began to dig around some more... and VIOLA! I found an SD memory card was IN my GPS NAVI... so now I just needed POWER to the Hello Kitty camera! Let's see... TWO TRIPLE A's! Hmmm... digging in my tool bag in the back, I found a FLASHLIGHT (LED-type) that used THREE AAA batteries! WOOT! Checked the light, it was dim...
...so I took them out, put two in the camera, and NOTHING! I fiddled with it, smacked it once, opened the lens cover... and BEEP! HELLO KITTY shows up in the display! I held it up, snapped ONE SHOT and the camera went DEAD!
Didn't know if the picture had been taken until that night, when I put the card in my PC and checked...
YESSSS!!!!
Here's to major milestones in our automotive lives!
