Who has the most miles? Who's over 50,000?

I saw the zombie thread someone resurrected yesterday about mileage, and the recent responses had only one person clocking in over 40,000 miles (wdhitch, moderator, with over 60,000). I figure that anyone driving 20,000 miles a year is pretty dedicated (since it's about 500 per week). As of early Feb 2010, there are only a few of us over 40,000. 30,000 is pretty impressive, too.

Maybe we could make a little calendar of when we hit 10k mileposts. I went over my old posts (and a few others), and came up with some starter data. I'm about to hit 70,000 this Friday, so ...

MILES DRIVEN
date.who.(bought when)

70,000
02/12/10. unicycle. (05/09/08)

60,000
11/07/09. unicycle. (05/09/08)
??/??/09. wdhitch

50,000
07/03/09. KingNine.
??/??/09. jthw8
08/13/09. unicycle. (bought 05/09/08)

40,000
??/??/09. jthw8
05/21/09. unicycle. (bought 05/09/08)
??/??/10. bum-bling-B. (bought 04/26/08)

30,000
01/28/09. jthw8
02/23/09. unicycle. (bought 05/09/08)
03/??/09. okie_boy.
03/??/09. 2micro4u.
06/??/09. earldahl.
??/??/09. a2jack.

2micro4u was way up there, too, with 47,000 as of 7/6/09, just a few thousand behind me.
jthw8 was ahead of me near the 50,000 mark but later commented that I'd passed him.

And of course you can approximate. Add your info, and then print the list again.

There are also some Canadians who have over 100,000 miles on their 450s, and we should include them (maybe in a different color, for clarity).

Do not post unless you're claiming a minimum of 50,000 miles. Thanks!
updated 07/02/2017

This is not a thread for asking questions

Here's the 1141 update. Unicycle started this thread, and wanted to start each page with an update, for people who have their preferences set to 10 posts per page. I'll try to update it on the ones to continue his goal.
(I'm on page 29, you might be on page 116 ... but this is post #1141 for everyone).

Please let me know as much as you can from the following list:

Date of milestone, and the mileage
Build date
Delivery date
Model Year
Model (450,451,453,other)
Trim level (pure,passion,cabrio,other)

If you're just posting an update, the date and mileage will suffice. Unless stated otherwise, all will be assumed to be fortwos.

If purchased used, a purchase date with day one mileage, model year and trim level would be useful. Not to worry if you don't have all of the data, just a milestone date and mileage will do as a minimum.

I will "Like" your post when I've acknowledged it and entered your data into the list. That helps me keep track too.

Please don't 'quote' this entire post. Hit 'reply' instead.

Please only post info about your car's most recent odo. Except for the upper strata grouping will be done in 5,000 mile increments. If you can't actually claim a minimum of 50,000 miles, your post is not appreciated.

This car had its engine replaced at 161,811 miles. The clutch and a few other minor parts basically died on 1/31/13, and i managed to limp to the smart dealership a few miles away, where it was pronounced DOA. The car was picked up by wahi when it had 170,933 miles. He has fixed it up (!!!) and has added a few hundred miles to it already! (see above )

Please don't ask questions on this thread. You can always start a thread regarding your question. Please PM me if you observe an error. This is a structured thread and not the place to chat. Your compliance would be appreciated. Thanks

P.S. All of the hyperlinks I spent many hours on have been wiped clean due to a problem imposed by the mother ship. Someone has decided to impose a size limit since the page 1131 update. If this limitation remains intact it will make continuing this effort a challenge.

I reached the 95K mark yesterday (9/29/2017). Sorry, no photo this time, LOL.
I'll be doing my second shade tree oil change, and finally replace my iridium spark plugs which have 75K miles on them. The weatherman is promising slightly cooler temperatures for tomorrow and that should help.


Still haven't got my cabrio roof fixed, while approaching yet another cabrio season.

Mileage update (current as of Jan 3, 2018):

- Tucker ((451) 2012 passion coupe): 140,000 - 20k miles driven in 2017.

And the two that are ineligible for the list (more for my own tracking purposes):

- Chelsea ((450) 2005 passion coupe): 25,000 - 1.6k miles driven in 2017.

I've been in several forums over the years, usually computer-related things to talk about modding computers. A few months ago I started my first forum for talking about wine (Wine Lovers Forum); you only get in by invitation so we control who is posting to some degree. The constraints on this forum are ridiculous, but I can understand they are there to stop the spammers.

Any folks out there seriously interested in wine? We have several members that enjoy wines from around the world.

Getting back to Smart cars, our daughter's 2015 model had it's engine replaced last year due to a maintenance mistake by the dealership. The engine lost it's coolant when a hose popped off and there is no temperature gauge in the 2015 Smart to tell the driver that the car is about to overheat. The newer models (2016) apparently have that sensor. Can you believe that? You drive until the engine just seizes up and that's all she wrote.
