Ever think about what you might be doing when your trusty ole VX crosses the magical 100,000 mile barrier?

Maybe you'll be bouncing across a desert wasteland, delivering medicine to a an out-of-the-way village that only a helicopter and your VX can reach.

Or maybe you'll be blasting through a snowbank during a snowstorm that's scared every other vehicle off the road.

Or maybe, just maybe, you'll be racing along a winding dirt road as a volcano erupts right over your head and the VX is just about your only prayer of survival.

Me? I was driving through East Orange, New Jersey tonight on my way to go pick up some newly trans-fat free Kentucky Fried Chicken.

Yeah, I live the life.

I am about 600 miles over that mark. Was just going about my usual business.

I was on my way to work, watching and watching and watching, and then I got sidetracked and missed it.:( I'm 23,345 over it now so I guess I'll have to watch and wait for the 125000 mark. (and I'll try to pay closer attention this time.:p )

My 99 Ironman pasted the Big 99999 on my way back from Reno, Nv. heading home to Central Nevada. I had just purchased it that weekend with 99,750 miles, drove around Reno and headed home, it turned 100000.0 just outside of Fallon, Nv. near Sand Mtn. Since then I'm setting at around 102,000 and have had only one problem, water leaking into the cab during rain, which I have since repaired I hope!!??

Well, sorry to disappoint...Im pushing the 200,000 mark......for my 99 ironman

Kinda wondering when I will need to get the engine rebuilt...or maybe I can push beyond to the 300K mark....used mobil 1 since the 8,000 mile mark....sounds good, anyway
