One Hundred Grand

So, even after I added in the punchy soundtrack, this still strikes me as one of the least impressive milestones I’ve ever recorded. It would seem as though the digital odometer lacks both the drama and excitement of the older, analog odometers. To be honest, I’m not even sure I trust it. I could be way over, or way under that mark. It’s all just a fancy, electronic, guessing game.


One thing I never thought I’d see though, upon uploading this to youtube, I instantly became grouped with a large number of people that have recorded the exact same event. I’m not really proud of that. I’m not ashamed either, I just think there are apparently a lot of us out there with the time, the ability, the equipment, and the belief that someone else might actually care about seeing this otherwise 999999X repeated occurrence.


In the last 100,000 miles, I’ve changed the oil, the tires, and one slave cylinder for the clutch assembly. Oil and tires don’t count, and the slave cylinder was $70 from the manufacturer, and it took me around 25 minutes total to swap out the old one with the new one. Not bad as far as I’m concerned. Here’s to another 100,000!!
