The event, captured for posterity on B's iPhone, took place in the parking lot at the local commuter rail. Returning home from the mall, we forgot that we had to get B's car until we had nearly arrived home. The detour meant that both B and I were in the car for the occasion.
The odometer read 99,999 miles as we reached the parking lot, so I asked B to take a couple of turns around the lot so that he'd be able to photograph the new six-number display. He obliged, and around and around we went--luckily it was close to 9 PM, so commuters were scarce--until I watched 99,999 turn into 100,000.
At nearly 7 1/2 years old, my car is no newbie to the driving world, but she has miles and miles left to run before she's ready for retirement. Long live the Island Corolla!
