At 12:15pm today, my '79 Midget Growler's odo spun around to show the same
reading as the day I bought it. So a little over 30 years and two months
later, I've put 100,000 miles on it myself in addition to the 25,194 it had
the day I picked it up from Howard Orloff MG/Fiat/Triumph/Volvo in Chicago.
So that's an average of 3333 miles a year since I've owned the car. I've
always taken it off the road for the Chicago salt season. The highest
mileage in a year was 12010 in 1983. Lowest was a couple years like 1987 and
1991 where it was stored year round. Since 1992 it's been on the road every
year.
On to the next hundred thou!
