The story of 200k is so long that it needs its own dedicated thread, but it happened last week of October, and I was so busy during, after, and now, that I just haven’t gotten around to it yet, despite managing to post about it on Reddit.

I finally drove my 94 to that 200k milestone. I drove it to 100k on April 26 2001, so it took a LONG time to finally get it to that point.

It was a v6 back then which is why the gauges are different (but I made sure to wind the mileage to where it should be when that happened).

It rolled over 200k on October 29th, in front of the Texas Motor Speedway where I had once autocrossed the vehicle, but also attended the LMR Cruise In when they had it there, as well as a 40th anniversary celebration of the Mustang, where they showcased the new 05, and had us all park our mustangs in the shape of a giant 40, to photograph.

I was on my way to the Dickies Arena in Fort Worth, where I got to drive other people’s cars. My first car that day was this pace car, and yes, that’s me driving it over the auction block.

They make us wear these bright green hats so we can easily be identified by Mecum staff. And Katy STOLE that car. She got an AMAZING deal. The car was loved, but still technically low mileage. There were minor cosmetic flaws, but it was also all original, which is impressive considering that all these cosmetic issues had been addressed on my own personal vehicle. I still feel like my own was the nicest vehicle I drove that day. Especially since I drove an hour to and also from three times that week.
