Mileage Milestone

these are legit miles on my 98 Saturn.. the odometer doesn't read while towing, the body has about 1/2 a million miles .. the car is approximately 95% original equipment.. :biggrin:

Dang you must take care of your car verry well if its still running at 290,000.....

I have no idea how you managed to survive or stand driving that many miles in a Saturn. For that I salute you! :biggrin:

its a 1998 Saturn wagon.. its not very comfy, but, it still gets good gas mileage.. today in fact, i got 39 mpg :biggrin:

anywho's as to the pictures, if anyone is interested in some good desert shots.. look in my briefcase ..

i suggest, you download the lowres shots, and if you like anything, then dload the high res ones..

you may need to click "show all"

enjoy :smile:

How much is a gallon in liters anyway? I know that a mile is 1.6 kilometers and quite a few feet...

Arizona, New Mexico and southwest Texas

pictures follow Highway 10 eastward for the most part, although the Arizona pics are from the salt river canyon area..

[edit] briefcase seems to be running slowly tonight, give it time, or check back later if it halts completely.. it usually runs at 100k, but seems real slow tonight..[/edit]

264 Gallons in 1000 Liters (1m3)

Orph, ditch the Saturn and go get you a Dodge. My Dakota has the
4.7l v-8 (4 wheel drive) and it still gets 17 miles per gallon.

yup, thats gonna happen real soon

i bought $10,575 dollars worth of diesel alone last year for the busses, i can barely afford fuel this year, i don't think i'll trade my 39 mpg ride for a 17 mpg guzzler :biggrin:

Anything, eh? I'll take a pound of salisbury streak with lots of onions and barbecue sauce.

Anyways, thanks for unzipping the pictures, I actually get to look at them now! :biggrin:

Good pictures so far, I'll keep you appraised of the situation as it unfolds. :dorky:

Situation Appraisal: Well I'm about to go to bed so I just sampled random pictures in a vain search for the fabled pictures of your son. Desert seems pretty lonely. I recommend... uhm... truck stops. :kitty: ... and it's comments like that which'll tell you just why I'm going to bed now.

/me wonders what that's supposed to mean...

Anyway you look nothing like your Snarpit picture, take that as you will. Your son is a strange mixture of my brother and two of my buddies, take that in a good way.
