What did you do when you hit the 1000 miles mark?

[djmm]

I think I have around 250 miles left before I hit the 1000miles mark. Can't wait for it to happen.

What do you guys did when you hit that magical number? At the moment I have rev limiter set to 4000 rpm and once in awhile I let it beep past 4000 to around 5-6k. I am planning to change the rev limiter to 6500 rpm once I hit the mark.

Also I'm not sure if it's just me or not, but comparing to when the car is new, when you start to approach 1000 miles, does the car sound change? I notice that now when I accelerate especially accelerating hard, the car engine sounds louder and more raspy or "bbbrrrrrr-y"?
Or is it just me?

PS- and I still check my own car out when I get out of the car, like an idiot.

Donuts.

My friend took this pic for me last year when I hit 1000 miles.

I pulled over, stopped, took an odometer picture, reset the rev warning to 7k, then finally floored it to take off. I have done a couple donuts since (not looking to replace tires soon, so this will be a very, very rare thing), and I have enjoyed driving UP some curvy roads now that I can really accelerate out of the turns.

Tried not to fall asleep because I was cruising on the 402 in Canada. Shits more boring than the Ohio turnpike.

The sound of mine has changed several times (or perhaps continuously) over the nearly 10K miles I have put on it. At one point it developed a growly little "brrrap" each time I shifted gears that sounded almost like an alligator burp. It still does it a little, but not as pronounced as it was around the 2K mile mark.

I have also seen differences in performance. Right around the 2500 mile mark, I felt a noticeable increase in torque (at least judging from butt dyno). Coming up on 10K miles, I think it runs and sounds better now than it has all along.

I'll let you know either today or tomorrow only 30 miles left!

Patience, young grasshopper. You will get there.

I was driving a backroad with a friend when I hit 1000 mile mark on the odometer. That's when I started revving past 5k on that road.

It was glorious.

Hit the rev limiter a few times

Lol me too!

Why would you do anything different? It's just a number on the dash....

Considering I'm probably going to be picking up mine in Colorado and driving back to California, I'm mostly going to be bored out of my mind when I hit the 1k mark.
