How strange is this?!? My dad drives over an hour each way to work, 7 days a week. So he racks up miles on his truck fast. My mom and I have been bugging him to get a new truck for the past year, since it has over 300,000 miles on it. He kept saying no way, my goal is to get 400,000 on this thing! He hit 400,000 miles on the way to work today! On the way back, at 400,030 miles, the transmission blew (in my parents neighborhood). How crazy is that!!! My mom called me today to tell me the news, and she said that my dad has been grinning ear to ear all day. I kept thinking how pissed off he would have been if it happened at 399,999 lol! He can finally let this truck go and move on!!! |
omd that is very funny and a stroke of good luck he was close to home!!! glad he got his goal! he feels he got his monies worth. tee hee. |
Sounds like he had a special bond with that trunk :p Like "it" knew to hold on till 400K, sorry she'd gone for him, LOL |
Nice. What Model Truck? Thats I try to do the same. Drive them all I can. IMO new cars are nice but a waste of money if you buy them every 4-5 yrs. JMO. Send pick to the manufacture maybe the will give him a voucher of some sort????See commercials like that sometimes |

Very cool! That is definitely a lot of miles for a truck! |
That is wild and awesome! Congrats to your dad for reaching his goal. :D |
How many years did it take to get 400K? I drive that much but 5-6 days a week. Mine always break ~ 200K+..But I haul tools ect.. |
