My car did make it to 200,000 miles! It didn't croak a few miles before it was supposed to happen. It happened right after the afternoon session of LDS General Conference (check it out if you missed it. Amazing!). It happened at the perfect time as well.
I knew that it was going to roll over soon, so after conference, Kristin, Josh and I all got in my car and drove around for a few minutes until it finally ticked over. As soon as it hit 199,999, we all got really excited because we knew that it would soon tick over. But when was it going to do that? The suspense was killing us.
When's it going to change?
We were driving along 500 West, turned right on to Bulldog Boulevard and waited until it ticked over. As I was driving, the light ahead of me turned red and I thought, "wouldn't it be awesome if it ticked over as soon as I stopped?" As soon as I thought this, we came to a stop and sure enough, when I crept to a stop, it ticked over. 200,000 miles! [insert celebration here. See celebratory pictures below] This was also perfect timing because I could easily pull out the camera and snap a couple of shots of the odometer.
200,000! Woot!
(excited!) (excited!)
(mission accomplished! yes!)

Nice work! Man, I wish my car would last that long. Well, I hope it keeps on ticking. Wouldn't that make an awesome follow-up post: "Remember 10 years ago when I blogged about 200,000 miles? Well, guess what!" Anyway, congrats. Oh, and congrats on graduating. I don't know if that tops 200,000 miles though...
