The geocaching Vibe is now at 139,000 and we’ll be heading to Connecticut in it next week.
My primary geocaching vehicle A.K.A my geobike has close to over 1000 miles on it.
My S-10 has 71000 miles. I’m not sure how many of those are geocaching miles.
Our 1996 Grand Cherokee has 196,000 miles on, most of which were spent out in Colorado. We had to bring “Rudy” home tho 2 years ago due to maintenance problems (he needed a new tranny). He runs great, has been through one student driver, will go through another next year. He’s great in the snow, doesn’t care if he gets dirty, and still smells like a river in CO.
Bought the Santa Fe new on Jan. 8, 2007 – not even 2 years old and we have 62,000 miles on it now that we are back from Alaska.
Rolled it over to 33,000 on Jan. 8 of this year and looks like we are on pace to beat that!
Primary vehicle, used for everything, but caching seems to put on a good percentage of those miles.
The beastmobile just completed another 5000 mile road trip. It is claiming 123,000 total miles now.
It was time for us to get a new cachemobile. Our Mercury Mountainer served us very well and had put on over 188,000 miles just prior to helping us complete the needed trips for GCXPZR along with caching in several states to boot.
So what did we do when we went car shopping?
Our test drive consisted of going to find three nearby caches to the dealership! GC1FD3Y GC1DJPA
along with GC1GEGB for the ultimate geo-test drive experience.So we now have a new geomobile- a sweet Toyota Highlander Limited
that past the geo-test drive!The highlander is a nice ride, it’s one that I’ve considered to replace the Geo-Jimmy.
Surprisingly, after the accident, I was a able to make a few simple repairs on the Geo-Jimmy and put it back on the road, crushed rear and all. It’s tough getting the tailgate open, and a bunch of new small issues have popped up in the last month, but at 181k, it’s still going. Surprising for a GM.
I’ve found the geo-Jimmy replacement, but still have not bought it, I’m driving the Jimmy into the ground rather than try to sell it now. It’s got a few good months left in it I think.
I’m just about to 230,000 now, 30k in 16 months! Wholly crap, and 2 months of those it hardly ran at all.
Where the heck did I go?
The cachemobile has 219,000 after todays run. It could “go” anytime but it hangs in there!
It’s all the NEWPG Runs we did when you were laid up Mike…. Sorry, We forgot to Mention it….
Our 2000 Jeep Cherokee had about 65,000 miles before meeting it’s demise in a highway rollover Tuesday 03 Fenruary 2009.
Glad to hear that Kat is OK.. That is very Scary…
OUCH! 🙁
What a hell of a ride indeed. THank God I was the only person involved.
Now to find a new caching mobile that has lots of cargo space and can sit more than four people. 😕 Hubby might get his Suburban yet…. 😆
