6 figures

[WeeYari]

Psychological old age milestone. Still looks and drives like 20,000 :thumbsup:

BTW, what you see there on the cluster is a prime example of what happens when dash cleaner hits the cluster cover.

[cali yaris]

ha, nice catch! I always miss, usually noticing a couple of miles after the fact - doh!

[nemelek]

Nice job to document the milestone.

[advocate]

Had the same problem WeeYari, ended up just taking the plastic cover off completely. Couldn't stand seeing that crap.

Congrats on the milestone!

out of powertrain warranty!

time to turbo.

ROFL.

Naw, I'll just sit back and live vicariously through you and your mod-of-the-month :wink:

That would drive me crazy too! What product was it that made those spots so I can avoid it?

Don't know. I got the car when it was a year old. On there when I got it. The spots really only show up under very direct sunlight, or in this case, camera flash.

Same thing happened to me.. this should help you.

use plastx from meguires it will eventually take it off after a bit of work

[Yaris Hilton]

I've watched 100K roll over on a bunch of cars. That's a great idea to get a picture of it.

[Kal-El]

Nice. :thumbsup:

But isn't it kilometers in Canada? If so, it's only 62,137 miles.

[WeeYari]

^ Yep, but like I said, it's phsycological. 6 figures is still 6 figures, and the only place anyone really wants to see that many digits is on their income ;)

I'm just up to over 50k km on mine, so I'll have to wait at least another 3 yrs for that 6-figure number. But it's weird how it catches your eye- I've noticed myself looking at the odometer just as some round number shows up.

[bronsin]

How about a mod to make any number appear on the ODO? Hows come the numerals arent orange like mine?

My 2001 BMW F650 (a motorcycle known for serious qc problems) would hit 5000 miles on the ODO. The next time you started the bike up the ODO would read 4990 (or something). So you could hit those round figures twice! German technology is GREAT!

[WeeYari]

Not quite so psychological any more.

Now at the point where mileage has a huge impact on resale. Fortunately I've no plans on getting rid of her any time soon.

[yougojay]

Great gas mileage, too - I see your 'bars' haven't even moved! :biggrin:
So, basically another 100,000 miles in 49 months, that car has seen some scenery I'll bet -
This is awesome, I don't know if I'll ever see that number on my odometer. Keep on keepin' on little Yar-Yar!

[WeeYari]

Not as impressive as you may think. That is 100,000 kilometers. :wink:

[IllusionX]

That's some steady mileage. I've hit 100k in January 2011. I've only put 38k on it since.

And now that i have a daily driver for the winter (MK5 jetta 2.5L), i'm putting even less on the car. lol

[thebarber]

Winning

[JustPassinThru]

A Toyota with that mileage is just barely broken in.

My beater is a Tercel with 240,000 miles on it. One cylinder on the OE engine was dead, no compression - so I had a local boy do an engine swap for a Tercel engine with 130,000 miles on it.

Runs like new now.

[yarisgeo13]

I know a former friend that got 6 US digits out his as well. But routine maintenance goes a VERY long way. And it's basically common sense, take of the car/truck and it will take of you as well!

[428CobraJet]

Lol! The two pics and the remarks about income! !!!

[WeeYari]

Still going strong.

WOW! Congratulations.

Oh wait. I just realized that's kilometers not miles. Still very impressive though.

I have 208,000 on mine....miles! This car is incredible - not one thing has failed on it!

[WeeYari]

Took a long time to reach what will be the final installment in this thread. No way rust will allow her to see 500k.
