It wasn't until this year that I have had two vehicles which I have been able to turn over the odometer twice, that's right.... passing the 200,000-mile mark. The first car to reach that mileage was my wife's 2002 Toyota Rav4, now with just over 208K on the clock. It has been a great little vehicle which, with its 5-speed manual transmission, made it a fun car to drive.
As I am the original owner of my '71Z, 200K miles only works out to about a little less than 4K miles per year of ownership. As you can imagine though, there were periods of ownership that I piled the miles on as my "everyday driver" and many years that the car just sat on jackstands in my garage, waiting for some tender loving restoration.
It goes without saying that our Z has been an important part of our lives. I have enjoyed owing and driving this particular car more than any other car that we have owned. It has proved to be a reliable and super-fun car to drive especially when taking it out on some of the twisty scenic country roads in CT.
I just had to share the joy with you folks!
