To reach 500,000 miles. Honest-to-goodness, tires on the road, odometer miles, not travel bug cache-to-cache miles. Please include the current mileage in your log.
This 1963 Volkswagon Bug was bought by my grandfather from the original owner in 1964 in Southern California. He drove it to work and back for years. Durring that time, it was broken into, stolen, and even had an engine fire. Even though the odometer turns over every 100,000 miles, he put over a quarter of a million miles on it. It was then passed on to my uncle who kept it running, but it was still showing it's age. When I was in high school, he traded it to me for a 486 computer. I think I still owe him... Now, it's on it's fifth engine, and has 350,000 miles, over a third of a million miles on it. Before I pass it on, I hope to have driven it to it's 500,000 mile mark, half a million miles.
Here's the dog-tag number, but please only log it if you actually see the travel Bug at an event or something: 530138.
