Ferrari Mailing List: Re: My Golf hits 600,000 miles!

[Paul Bennett (pbennett]

Congradulations on 600k of evasive driving in heavy traffic.  
Deduct the po's 160k miles and his 10 years. Still means:
440k miles - 40k miles per year  - 40 mph ave - 
half a work year is 1000 hrs driving for 11 years.  
Yep, numbers check out

Mechanical reliability is assumed but the true accomplishment 
is 11,000 hours of dodging stoplight racers.  That's incredible!
And it also means any fender-bender threatens instant totality on a 20 yo car.
Yes, getting to 600k is a real feat.

(If you sense that I'm paranoid about cars hitting me your right...
I'm never the hitter but the hittee even been hit 4 times while 
stopped at a light)

Let's hope this celebration doesn't jinx it.
