90,000 Miles

My Acura 3.0CL hit 90,000 miles today on my way to work. I actually knew it would happen this week...but on my way home last night wasn't paying attention. When I parked my car in the cul-de-sac (couldn't pull in driveway because kids were playing outside) I noticed the odometer was at 89,999. If it had flipped on my way home I would have missed it.

So then I was worried it would flip when I pulled my car in after all the kids went in...so I considered backing my car into the driveway / garage...but cooler minds prevailed.

So this morning as I pulled out of our neighborhood, the numbers flipped and I tried to take a picture with my cell phone (I was at a Stop sign Mom!...wasn't driving and taking pictures at the same time). Anyway, I found out once I got to work that I had taken a video and not a picture so I couldn't make it my background image on my cell phone. Oh well, I guess I'll just have to keep that picture of my kids on there instead.

So in short...my trip to work cost me over $200 this morning...when you factor in the value I lost on my car (used www.kbb.com to calculate) and the gas money. Whew...I should have worked from home today.
