Talking Another milestone for my 1998 SC400 - Still kickin' like a chicken @ 200k miles!

Well guys....I am just one proud owner today. My car hit 200k on I-85 between Montgomery, AL and Auburn, AL. She is still goin' strong and embarassing ricers each and every day. Here is a pic I took when it hit the 200k mark. I anticipate I will have many more years of enjoyment with this car. I'll try to hit 100mph+ @ 300k .

Just for justification purposes, the stupid idiot driving in front of me finally moved out of my way after about 2 miles....allowing me to take this pic (it's hard to take a still shot while driving @ 100mph)

P.S....I just added washer fluid

Are you sure he was the "stupid idiot?"

Its great to see a high mileage sc4 on the road! But keep it safe so we can see it reach 300k!
