Miles rolled over...
Last wednesday my odometer reset back to all zeros. I had the digi-cam ready to go and snapped a few pictures.

I wish I knew how many times the miles have rolled over... It would be nice to know how many miles this 30 year old truck really has.
I was guesstimating that if this is the first time, which I really doubt, then that would be approx. 3,333 miles per year. If this is the second time that would be 6,666 miles per year, well you get the idea...

that's a pretty cool thing to see., isn't it. 1000 more miles on mine and it will be the third wrap around.... and it still make the odd 400 mile trip every now and then..... you've got alot of motor left, keep on truckin.
EDIT: worked out the numbers and that's 16,666 miles/year.... 21,428 gallons of gas (approx) in 18 years..... $64,285.71 (approx) in gas money (today's gas prices up here; $0.75/Litre). WOW

Yeah $0.90/LITRE might sound better then $1.78 per gallon but in reality its much worse
