my younger sons is at ~365k. Hoping to get it to 400k and out of high school(he's a sophomore now) before we hand the keys over to another 16yr old kid.

LOL - only 287K here.  With a broken odometer I suspect she'll never get there!

my odo broke at 280k and recently fixed it.  I'm guessing at least low to mid 300k now.

Yeah, I see no reason why an M42 can't do what the old Volvo Amazons do - just keep going!  

But mine only has 189k on it, so we have miles to go before we sleep.
