100,000 miles.

17C, sunny with brisk wind.
Just driven the first 100,000th mile in my car, a 2002 Passat.

I have driven most of that distance though the car stands, unused, outside my house. I caught it nearly 12 years ago. It should be viable for another 5 years. The only costs, therefore, are normal maintenance repairs.

New wheels.

17C, light MW, 4/5 cloud.
Got new wheels. Though the rest of the car is over ten years old. Much of the reason to change the wheels was cosmetic, plus a worry that the old rims were buckled. Now they are fitted, I am surprised by the improvements- lighter steering, no wobble, and it’s much quieter.

ride home: another extended route, 21 miles, double the usual commute. I have to wonder how long I can sustain these rather refreshing addons. No doubt the equinox will impose next month.
