Last night, pulling up to a friends' house I noticed the odometer was at 29,999.x miles. I started watching the odometer, awaiting the magic number...
As it happened, the odo rolled over to 30 grand about 50 or so feet short of their house. Naturally I called my pal over and we both took pictures as I parked.
I bought the Mach E on 16 May 2022, thanks to a special order whose original buyer cancelled when the car showed up. That was about 45 weeks ago.
I had no idea / zero intent to accumulate 30k miles within the 1st year... and yet I did. Why: because the fun factor of this car compares, in my owner experience, only to the 1990 BMW 318i I bought with 7k on the odometer off an Army buddy when he got orders to move from Berlin, Germany to Hawaii. That BMW, the last of the "square" BMWs, was SO MUCH FUN to drive, we drove the wheels off of it all across Europe, then across the United States, years later again across Europe, and back to the U.S. until the engine blew up on me and my then teenage Sonny Boy one sunny day right in the neighborhood with 199,700+ miles on the odo.
So, 30k in 10 months because the Mach E is also a car that is SO MUCH FUN to drive. That's my story and I'm stickin' to it
Oh did I mention the (non) amount of gas I had bought in the past 30k miles?

But hey, it's warming up and my efficiency is already improving and I can always look into solar. Life is good.
