Kirby Posted May 29, 2020 Share #1 Posted May 29, 2020 My car is just about to turn past 100,000 miles. Last week I drove up to the Catskills and I thought the odometer would turn on that trip. That made me feel good because that's always a nostalgic trip for me and I liked the idea of the odometer turning on that trip. But I ended up 12 miles short. I don't want the odometer to turn while I'm running errands and doing grocery shopping. That seems so mundane. Where can I drive for 13 miles?

If she really want to "roll" the odometer (back!), she should head to somewhere like NJ where they are great at that sort of thing. It will breathe new life into her car if she sets it back to 50,000 again 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffJim Posted May 29, 2020 Share #15 Posted May 29, 2020 Growing up we instituted a rule that said the driver, usually my dad, had to buy ice cream for the whole car when we passed an odometer milestone. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not wild sister went hiking in Bear Mt State Park a few weeks ago. I told her she should feel very smug because later that morning they shut the entrance because they reached capacity. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
