Finally!

The suspense is killing me!

Finally!! The decimal does disappear and so does the last digit too freeing up a spot to be able to read 1,000,000 next. Thanks for the video Tom. That was too cool.

3 years, 50k miles here. Curious/worried about spark plug issues.

Have 150000+- on the pony now and had to change the plugs about 30000 ago, one of the plugs was so used it misfired causing all sorts of problems. but still going good.

69,000 miles on mine since October 2007. Been a great car. Getting the glass roof installed. Picking it up tomorrow. I plan on having the car for 300,000-500,000 miles. Replaced usual stuff. I have the front strut noise in the car now. Had some missing/skipping problems. Ended up being Granatelli MPG coil packs defective. They replaced them free but charged $25 analysis to figure out which ones were bad. They replaced them all any way. Other than that, no problems. Nice ride.

45k on my '08 GT, drive it 65 miles a day. Michelin Pilots about a 1000 miles ago(love em!) and an Optima battery about 500 miles ago. It is the best cure for a boring commute!

179,900 on a 1998 mustang! Bought it in 2000 and kept it ever since. I can honestly say it has never had any major problems and it still runs like its brand new.
