My van rolled over 200,000 miles today
(startrek.website)
That's a lot of miles in a day ;)
You don't think that van is moving at roughly 11x the speed of sound?
They were good back then. They don’t make them like they used to.
First they came for the hypersonic vans then they came for the carburetor, have they no decency
Probably counting the Earth's orbit around the sun.
I thought "rolled over" meant something else, but that would have been far too not-dull.
It’s an old timey parlance from the days of mechanical odometers.
Somewhere out in the west, there's a town with a lone van rolling with the tumbleweeds. Makes the shootouts all the more interesting
Exactly: not dull
This is aggressively not dull
Hell yeah, here’s to 200k more
Too exciting, ban him!
Yeah, maybe we should have very short term bans, just for the lulz
How is that dull, though? It’s a dilemma inside a conundrum . .
Yeah having short term bans for not being dull enough, is in itself not a dull thing to
"I hwish Peggy were here to see this"
I got you beat. I put 16,000 miles on my car in the eight years I've owned it. I don't go out much since I retired. That's how you do dull.
That's why you should apply the parking brake before leaving. You're lucky nobody were injured!
I sold my 30 year old faithful Volvo 940. The odometer was around 450000km
I have a 2002 Ford F-150 7700 4×4 with about 320,000 km on it. I should be up in the 450k range right about 2032, assuming civilization hasn’t collapsed and fuel is still broadly available.
It was my father’s truck, so I am quite invested in keeping it in good repair. About the only things not working are the AC, the rear window trim (when it rains), and the radio (haven’t been arsed to track down the fuse that blew). Everything else is in decent to great condition for a truck just shy of a quarter century. Runs like a dream, not a single leak on the engine.
Trying to catch up...
Wow it must have been going really fast, the day isn't even over yet. See if you can keep it rolling.
Like so the brakes not work? I don't understand
I really hoped it will get back to 0
Congratulations!
Still going lol
Should have put the parking brake on.
What a wee baby! Onwards towards 1000000!

I know, right?
Just replaced a car with 256k on it, it is still in the family though. Old Lexus.
Back in the day, 100K was a piece of shit, no one would touch it. Powertrain warranties were 36K. Cars are amazing these days, but I loathe the maintenance.
Why rolling? Don't you have wheels?
What car is it? What type if maintenance schedule?
Honda, 2001, If it aint broke dont fix it
Wh00t! Giddyap!
Always glad to see. What's your maintenance look like? Any advice for the rest of us?
- Get a Honda or Toyota
- change oil every 5-10k miles
- If it aint broke dont fix it
- wash it once a year (optional. DO NOT WAX- its bad karma)
I just missed 123,456 on my new to me GTI :C

1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.
2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.
3. Avoid repetitive topics.
4. This is not a search engine
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.
There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.
Some other communities to consider before posting:
5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.
6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.
7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases.
