Five-oh on the five-oh
Posted On May 2, 2010
Late last year I posted that I was almost at 50k miles when I put my car away for the winter. I haven’t driven it much this year but, earlier this month, I went for a ride and thought I would be back well before I hit 50k. It turned out that when I got home I was only a few miles short. So, I drove around the neighborhood for a little while and, in true OCD fashion, pulled the car in the garage at exactly 49,999.9 miles.
Then, I was away for almost two weeks and it sat. Well, last night I finally manged to muster up the courage and I took it out and finally moved that most significant digit to ‘5’.

Hey congrats!!! You sound like a proud papa. My odometer looks almost the same but we are getting ready to turn 150k! Enjoy that ride. Thanks for sharing. Chet and the gang.
Thanks! I did enjoy the ride. When I originally bought the car I thought I would be much farther up there after 8 years of ownership.
John, there is help for people like you… (http://www.gotstang.com/image/85184) …and me! LOL
Congrats!!! Only 50K more ’til all donuts!
@Tim. That’s awesome. I hope we (my car and I) both make it to that number!
