Today my odometer hit and passed 200,000 miles.
I wished close friends were there to experience my milestone so I pulled over and texted some. Two replies trickled in:
"=) Congrats! Making it home safe?"
"Haha, congrats! That little car is quite the beast."
"Thanks!," I replied to the latter. "It resembles the owner."
No lie. My silverish-blue '95 Toyota Camry has several trips under its timing belt and took some literal beatings (slight dents courtesy my sister). Certain parts need to be replaced but it's still going; besides, the wear and tear give it personality.
I'm not sure where I'll be or when I'll hit another odometer milestone. Either way I'll do my best to have good company and my faithful little car.
Here's to the next 200,000 miles.
