Where were you when...

your car turned 100,000 miles?
Does anyone else remember that commercial? I think it was for Chevy and I was amazed a car would "live through" that many miles. Well, last Thursday my 2002 Mitsubishi Galant did!!! I'd been watching the odometer since I saw it rolled to 99,000. I thought it would be a fun layout to do and I could write all the things that happened in that car.
-We drove to the hospital at 11pm one night and Jenna was born shortly after
-It was Jenna's first car ride
-We drove to Disneyland in it
-It has driven me to school and was there when I graduated college

Call me lame, but I actually remember when I first drove it. I was having major problems with the car I had bought about a year previous and the dealership had finally agreed to sell us another car at cost and return our lemon (we did lose some money there, but at that point I didn't care). Jason and I saw that this car was at the dealership so I asked the sales manager to bring it out to my work to try out. I liked the way it drove and it only had 12,000 miles on it - so I called Jason and said that I wanted the car...and well, the rest is history

So, here's to you my Mitsubishi Galant - thanks for everything and here's to another 100,000 miles!
