Hit a weird number on my truck's odometer today and it's got me thinking

My old Ford F-150 just rolled over to 222,222 miles on my way home from a job in Springfield. I bought it new back in '08 and never thought I'd see it hit that kind of mark. It felt like a little win for keeping up with all the maintenance myself. Has anyone else had a car hit a fun number that made you stop and appreciate it?

Funny how machines outlast most things nowadays.

My old Civic hit 300k and the check engine light finally turned off for the celebration.

My 2002 Accord made it to 280k before the light went dark for good. I just kept up with basic stuff, changing the oil every 5k miles with conventional and replacing oxygen sensors when they threw a code. The light would come on for months, then just shut off after a long highway drive. It felt like the car fixed itself out of pure stubbornness.
