Well, our 2004 Chevy Suburban (Z71, 4x4) joined the 200K club today. MomHawk had the honor of driving it when it occurred as she was out for her Spa Day on our Fall beach vacation.

We bought the Suburban in 2012, about two months after we purchased the FRS. It replaced our Chevy Astro with 280,000 miles a few months after it decided to eat it's motor bearings as I was returning from the airport after the Easter "First 86" Long Beach trip sponsored by Scion (there' plenty of threads on it if you aren't familar)

It is a high spec Z71 that originally cost $50K in 2004. We purchased it 8 years later with about 85K miles for under $12,000. It was a trade-in at the Honda dealership where my father-in-law worked, and is the last car we purchased through him as he had to medically retire a couple of months afterwards.

It's been good to us, so here's to another 50K to 100K miles!
