three hundred thousand miles

This week my trusty Toyota Corolla reached a HUGE milestone. On I-91 South in Springfield, on the way to Connecticut for dog class with Boca, the odometer turned to 300,000.

First of course, I was very excited. I took pictures, I called my dad, I bragged to the people at class – But then the panic set in. The reality. My car has 300,000 miles on it (with the original engine and transmission, I might add)…

Holy toledo!

What’s going to happen now? How much longer can I reasonably expect even the most hardworking, reliable, martyr of a Toyota to keep rolling?

Yikes, I guess this means I’d better get moving on my book! I’m going to need to use some of that advance money to buy a new car!

Wish me luck :)
