100K

September got away from me blog-wise! Here's a quick update, hopefully more interesting posts to follow...

There are certain car milestones that still stand out. 40 years ago, the average age of cars on the road (according to NPR) was 5 years. Now, it's 9. It used to be that cars with 100,000 miles were the exception, now it's the expectation. Heck, I just did the first brake job on the RAV and it has 78k.

While it's not the tremendous accomplishment it once was, 100k is still a milestone, and the Miata just surpassed it this morning. I was able to find a winding road and take it for a nice ride. At the rate things are going, it will see 200k in 2031. Here's to many more!
