Just noticed my car odometer hit 222,222 miles on my drive home from work

Part of me thinks it's a cool sign to keep driving this thing forever, but another part wonders if it's a warning that a huge repair bill is coming. What would you do if your car hit a number like that?

Ever have a friend who saw a number like that and took it as a challenge? My buddy's truck hit 300,000 miles and he threw a little party for it, like it was a birthday. He drove it for two more years with just normal oil changes, nothing major broke. Then one day the transmission just quit in a grocery store parking lot. He said it was worth every extra mile he got out of it, even with the big bill at the end. I guess it depends on if you feel lucky and really love the car.

My uncle's old Volvo made it to 400k before the engine seized.

Totally get that "worth every extra mile" feeling.
