Since it is a nice day and I have my 'to do list' done I decided to pull the vette out on the front yard and take a few pictures. Since it turned over 220,200 miles and is runnning good I even gave it a quick bath.

Thanks Bill. I just take care of it and read a lot about problems others have run into. If I see something wearing out I replace it before it breaks, and do all my own work on it with some help from a friend who has a lift. Since I retired it doesn't get driven every day like it used to, so it will take a while to get to 300K.

Looking Good! I have 157K miles on mine now and I hope it looks as good as yours when it reaches that milestone.

Nice yard too!

ell, ya know that's just it, maintain the car and it will last. And fix what ever it needs, keep it good looking.
I sold this truck with 375k on it. It had 63 miles on it when I bought it. It was in this shape when I sold it:
Sorry for the highjack.

It was just a point on how good Andy's car looks at 220k and
what it will look like at at 300k.

Vehicles don't need to be "worn out" if the owner isn't.
