The wheels keep turning, originally uploaded by Michael Sallmen.

Monday morning as I started my daily commute, I noticed that my old friend had rolled over 190,000 miles.

    What vehicle is this? Your minivan?

    You kidding? They only take their minivan out on weekends. It probably has less than 20K on it. The 190K is his old ’95 Pontiac Bonneville.

    I think I’ve ridden in that vehicle a couple of times! Oh what fun we had!

    It’s even more fun now that the transmission doesn’t always shift out of park properly! Also, it has that distinct look with faded paint in spots.

    You’re almost correct, Paul. We do drive the minivan on weekdays, sometimes. Just last Friday, it turned over 20,000 miles, so it was under 20,000 when you mentioned it.
