Default MillionMileLexus getting real close.

Did a little sleuthing and this guy has it. They seem to be getting close to the goal. I now have 76,500 and am itching for a spring road trip.
I noticed the snow photo. At least the cat didn't leave paw prints on the hood.

Very cool! Hopefully this will finally be the year it makes it!

I really wish the drivers of that car would have taken better care of it, though. It's gotten so worn out cosmetically over the past few years.

So Robbie passed the MMlexus back to Matt at The http://thesmokingtire.com/ yesterday at 999,369 miles. Matt says it will turn a million in the next 30 days. What a privelidge,.
I wish a Lexus technician could disassemble the engine and explain the magic. Every time I think about this I am awestruck and gain a renewed pride of ownership.

^ surprised that only that part of the needle burnt out vs the rest of the cluster.

speaking of cluster, wonder what the miles will show after it turns over...will it return to 0, or will it stay at 999,999 indefinitely?!
