And she's still running strong ;) I love telling people who think 100k is a lot that I have never purchaced a car with less than 140k LOL and don't think you really have something to brag about till 300, but 200 is good enough for me right now :draw

I've owned exactly one vehicle with less than 100K miles on the odometer. That car was the second-least reliable vehicle (and by far the least reliable vehicle with a water-cooled engine) I've ever owned...go figure :)

Congrats on hitting the 200K mark!

I've noticed this same thing, and I have concluded that if you take care of your vehicle then by 100k anything that was weak from the factory has been replaced with something better ;Sweet
