First time reached this milestone!
This is only my second car in the last 30 years (or as long as I have been driving). Trusted ride for fifteen years. And it reached the two hundred thousand mile marker today.
Forget rear cameras or even proximity indicators, this car is so old that it does not have bluetooth or USB connectors. In a reminder of the long past, it does have a cassette player though!! Even the manufacturer stopped making this car over ten years back!!
I have taken good care of it – never missed a maintenance cycle and it has, in turn, taken good care of me – no major breakdowns.
The day of parting is coming though. At current gas prices, every time I fill it up, the value almost doubles!
I still cannot get myself around to get rid of it yet!

That is not Bengali!
I was at the Fulton County Water department to get some stuff done regarding the new house. The staff was very courteous and efficient. I have been VERY pleased with the Tag and License office there too. For a government office, they are really efficient.
In any case, noticed this sign there. I know a bit of Bengali and Hindi. That sentence purportedly written in Bengali is anything but. Individual letters seemed to be Bengali script. Put together, it is gibberish. The Hindi one was much better – but still no cigar. The word “Hindi” itself is unreadable!!
I wonder how many of the other languages written there have the same issue. Full points for trying but they need better proof reading…

Reached the 190,000 mile mark with the SC 430. That would be the equivalent of going around the earth at the equator around 8 times over!
Inching towards the 200,000 mark. If I can make it last for another year, I should be there.
The only other car I had – a Civic, lasted 12 years and 132,000 miles. I had to reluctantly let it go. By that time though, its value used to double every time I filled it up with gas!
