The last Sonic Burger run put me over the top; 100,000 miles and still running like a top! (of course)

 

[ComposiMo]

Woo hoo! 8) Congrats! Now its worth even less (to the general public )... lol! Just kidding of course.

I'm waiting for my 4Runner to hit 200k so that i can get the same kind of pic... i remember when my odometer went in numerical order... 1234567... that was neat.. lol.

Speaking of high mileage, kudos to whoever can tell me who this belongs to:

(i know who it is, but i'm wanting to see how old school some people in here are... hehe)

 

[crxgator]

radiationman?

 

[SETI20]

yes yes... I remember him patching up a couple of things to push his crx over the 300K mark.

 

[crxfisher]

Congrats! Less than 4k more for me. About 3 years ago mine had 39k when I bought it, now I'm sitting at 96,200.

 

[jaowli]

I'm nearing 129000.

 

[baker_jeff]

I hit 130,000 kms on mine last night. Brought her in with 108,000 kms in November. I do alot of driving! :shock:

 

[Krix]

my odometer...well its there. you people with your stock motors 8)

 

[ComposiMo]

yep... radmans odometer when he clicked 300k...

 

[ollie]

I just clicked 62K.

 

[dohcya]

218,000 miles here...... eace:

 

[downest]

and still going...

 

[rex2nr]

mines around 160.. something like 162K

 

[Ragnaarok]

call me strange but I think the older odometers look cooler than the new digital ones, especially with high mileage on them. plus it's cool to be blazing down the interstate while the odo spins away.

 

[jaowli]

What color is your CRX?

 

[Charles]

Great place for a photo of rolling over 100K!

 

[jaowli]

Are there any members nearing 1,000,000?

 

[Laure]

It'd be neat to get it up to 1,000,000 ... but at the rate I rack up miles, I'd have to live a very long time to do that!

Found this on the Volvo site:
2,000,000 Miles and Counting
Perhaps the single most stunning example of legendary Volvo durability is the shiny red 1966 Volvo P1800 owned by Irv Gordon. So far it has been driven a world-record-breaking 2,000,000 miles and counting.

Oh - jaowli, not sure if you were asking me about car color or someone else, but mine is "BASF Extreme Rainbow" color-shifting paint, with a little silver mixed in to make it more "conservative" (now I wish I'd thrown caution to the wind, and used it straight, but it still came out pretty good).

 

[jaowli]

Where would I get that cool color? How much does it cost?

 

[Laure]

There are several paint manufacturers that have color-shifting paint; they all use Chromaflair light interference particles. These are the same particles they use in the color-shifting numbers on the new money (in the green-to-purple color though). *link*

BASF (Extreme), DuPont (Mystichrome), and House of Kolor (Kameleon) are three brands that have color-shifting lines. My body shop got it from a distributor here in Arizona:

The paint is expensive; I found Kameleon online just now for $473 per quart. It's applied just like regular paint, though.
