Dang it -- this always happens to me......
So I took the Cavalier in for its annual emissions check and safety inspection. As the guy was getting ready to ring me up, he says "Wow -- you really put a lot of miles on that thing!"
I assumed he was joking, since the car is coming up on 20 years of age and only has 46,000 miles on it, so I said "Yeah -- and I put most of those miles on over the last year!"
So I sit down in my car and look at my print out and sure enough they have punched in the mileage as "464,809" instead of "46,480.9"......
Not a huge deal since I will probably never sell the car until it is run into the ground, but the same thing has also happened on my Mustang and my F-150 and it creates a mileage discrepancy when you do a vehicle history report! I'll have to watch them like a hawk when I bring the '87 Crown Victoria in with 4200 miles on it for the first time.....
