A milestone

[Vincent Gelinas]

I can't compete with all that, but on our farm here my 2000 VR6 Jetta has
193xxx, my fiancée's 1999 A8Q has 175xxx, our plow/work truck is a 1996
Chevy K2500 with 253xxx, and the owner's 2006 Chevy Trailblazer has 85xxx.
Our main tractor is a 1975 JD1050 with almost 1900 hours and an old school
three cylinder turbo diesel, with our stump ripper being a mid 60s JD350
dozer.
