It rolled over...

Yup... passed 100,000 miles.

Still more reliable than my 2005 GMC truck, which I have to take in to the shop tomorrow...

I took pics of the speedo just about as it happened... If I can get my camera back from the spouse, I'll post them....

JimG...

I was just in Gloucester last weekend...too bad I didn't know or I would have contacted you so maybe we could have met up.

One of my closest friends (best man when I got married) lives in Newport News. Next time I'm in the area I'll let you know.
