And the fact that he resides in New Brunswick and vehicle is not an American import.

I have an ongoing thread which shows my ODO at 100,000, 200,000 and 300,000km. Since I'll likely not see 400,000 with her, the next installment may be a couple weeks away at 333,333.

I don't want to thread jack, but are you planning on getting rid of her?

Congratulations on 200,000 whatevers!

My 2009 has ~49k miles and long before it hits 100k miles I'll be in a nursing house or in the grave!

Haha, I still use imperial when measuring most things.

Although we drive a LOT in a year, it's spread over 3 vehicles, so, yeah, I too will be convalescing somewhere if/when mine reaches, say, 500000km. The thought of my wife having to drive me around is decidedly depressing (Edit: she adds: "depressing, for both of us")

Haha, yeah, I take pics of all sorts of weird odometer milestones, whole numbers, patterns, palindromes etc. It's one of my weird little obsessions. The wife finds it amusing when I pull over to snap a pic.

Yes. That was one of the stupidest decisions we have ever made. I was in grade school then. I remember being taught in metric. There were articles in newspapers and magazines explaining it. TV news, etc. I remember driving to Texas (well riding, my Dad was driving) and stopping for gas in Arkansas of all places and the pumps were denominated in liters! Then all of a sudden, poof...all gone. Dumb, dumb, dumb.

I was an engineering major in college. All the true science courses are taught in metric units. All the applied science and engineering courses are taught in US measurements. It is still this way today. Stupid, stupid, stupid.

I work on ships. If I'm working on a US built ship all the measurements are given in US units. If I'm working on a foreign built ship all the units are metric. Some typical scenarios: US ship in foreign shipyard, installation of US designed equipment on foreign ship or visa versa. Pain in the A$$.

There are economic and safety consequences of this too. US workers need 2 sets of tools. Design work has to be done twice, etc. Also it is not uncommon for mistakes to be made when converting from one set of units to the other, especially on very precise measurements. Don't forget that the Challenger explosion was caused by faulty O-rings. Those O-rings were designed in metric units and built in US units. There was an error in the transposition. This sort of thing is not uncommon, although it is rarely deadly.

And the stupid thing is metric is so EASY. Yes if you've never been exposed to it it seems strange at first but you can pick it up quickly. Can you count to 10? Yes? Congratulations you are an expert in the metric system.

Come on America we can do it. Take the plunge and join the rest of the world. It is necessary. Seriously I will vote for any candidate who promises to put us on the metric system regardless of how appalling they may be in other aspects.

How many of that 200k were actually clocked under your care and custody?

did you know a meter is supposed to be one millionth the distance from the equator to the north pole?
