I have a 2002 Ford F-150 7700 4×4 with about 320,000 km on it. I should be up in the 450k range right about 2032, assuming civilization hasn’t collapsed and fuel is still broadly available.
It was my father’s truck, so I am quite invested in keeping it in good repair. About the only things not working are the AC, the rear window trim (when it rains), and the radio (haven’t been arsed to track down the fuse that blew). Everything else is in decent to great condition for a truck just shy of a quarter century. Runs like a dream, not a single leak on the engine.
Back in the day, 100K was a piece of shit, no one would touch it. Powertrain warranties were 36K. Cars are amazing these days, but I loathe the maintenance.

That's a lot of miles in a day ;)

You don't think that van is moving at roughly 11x the speed of sound?

They were good back then. They don’t make them like they used to.

First they came for the hypersonic vans then they came for the carburetor, have they no decency

Probably counting the Earth's orbit around the sun.

I thought "rolled over" meant something else, but that would have been far too not-dull.

It’s an old timey parlance from the days of mechanical odometers.

Somewhere out in the west, there's a town with a lone van rolling with the tumbleweeds. Makes the shootouts all the more interesting
ceenote@lemmy.world · 7 pts · 210d
Exactly: not dull
prettybunnys@piefed.social · 20 pts · 210d
This is aggressively not dull
Hell yeah, here’s to 200k more
felixwhynot@lemmy.world · 17 pts · 210d
Too exciting, ban him!
MigratingApe@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 6 pts · 210d
Yeah, maybe we should have very short term bans, just for the lulz
homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 210d
How is that dull, though? It’s a dilemma inside a conundrum . .
SmackemWittadic@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 210d
Yeah having short term bans for not being dull enough, is in itself not a dull thing to

I got you beat. I put 16,000 miles on my car in the eight years I've owned it. I don't go out much since I retired. That's how you do dull.

That's why you should apply the parking brake before leaving. You're lucky nobody were injured!
I sold my 30 year old faithful Volvo 940. The odometer was around 450000km

Wow it must have been going really fast, the day isn't even over yet. See if you can keep it rolling.
Bakkoda@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 210d
Like so the brakes not work? I don't understand
FuyuhikoDate@feddit.org · 6 pts · 210d
I really hoped it will get back to 0
Congratulations!
RedC@sh.itjust.works · 6 pts · 210d

Should have put the parking brake on.

Always glad to see. What's your maintenance look like? Any advice for the rest of us?
