A veteran of several Vintage Hiwatt Conventions (including the infamous Hiwatt Bob roof surfing episode), I felt it was only fitting to post here that The Mighty Terraza turned a milestone yesterday, just south of Cincinnati, on my return drive from St Louis:

Dunno how many miles are left in her, but she was purring like a kitten at the time :) .

And why were you taking pictures while driving down the highway at 70mph? :o glad to hear its still humming along.

My Forrester turned 150 recently, I'm hoping for 200.

Only 100k? :wink:

The '08 "Rather be driving a HIWATT" Accord is already pushing 160k. :shock: :lol:

'cause texting is against the law :D ?

It was a special occasion, so I made the exception. Not as much fun as the old mechanical odometers, though (sigh).

I am surprised that the speedo was under 110 mph!
:lol:

Youse guys sure do put on the miles!

I haven't had the reason to drive The Mighty Terraza much lately.

In fact, prior to my St Louis trip, it'd been 2 months since I gassed her up :shock: ! Ran so good, it scared me (since, in my experience, things usually run really great just before they blow up).
