A Quarter Million Miles

[MadmanO/T People]

Today marks a milestone in the history of my 1990 Volvo 740 Turbo. Just as I pulled into my driveway, the odometer turned over 250,000 miles! Yes, I know this is terribly self-indulgent, but this car really is a member of the family. We even celebrated with cake! Hey, any excuse for cake, right?

Did you seriously make a cake for your car completing 250k?


Dad use to have a white turbo brick Volvo, still going strong when he sold it at 204 000 miles

Cool, and impressive mileage. Is the car still a gooden, or is it wearing the miles?

My 306 is about to roll over 160,000 miles and i'm getting a little nervous of the extra creaks and rattles i'm hearing.

Made my car a cake when it rolled over 150,000 miles

cake, love it, quite an achievement though as i guess generally cars arent expected to make it that far.

Quite easy to do in this particular case, though.

Now you tell me!

Oh well, there's always the 300,000 celebration. Hope I still remember to do that in about three years.

Quite random making your car a cake, especially as it cant enjoy it.
