Hit 50,000 miles on my work truck this morning and it hit me different
I was just driving to a job site in Allentown and glanced down at the odometer. 50,000 miles exactly. That's like driving across the country 17 times or something. And I put every single one of those miles in just the last 2 years hauling shingles and ladders around. Makes you think about how much time you actually spend in that metal box. Did anyone else get weirdly philosophical about a random milestone like this? What number caught you off guard?

My buddy Steve hit 100,000 miles on his Ford Transit right as he pulled into a Wawa outside Philly. He said he just sat there for a minute staring at it while his coffee got cold. He does HVAC service calls and that truck is basically his office, his lunch room, and his nap spot all in one. Said it made him realize he'd spent over a year of his life just sitting in traffic on the Jersey Turnpike.

Man I feel that. My own work van just ticked over 80k and I realized I've probably eaten more meals in parking lots than at an actual table over the last few years. At least your buddy had a moment of clarity instead of just realizing his suspension is shot and his transmission smells like burnt toast.
