He rode the car all the way home to the driveway after riding at least 5-6 miles, then flew away after I nudged him with a leaf.
I wonder if this was a joy ride or absolute terror for this awesome little dude?

Putting on some miles
Pulled into a parking space and just happened to notice that my car was RIGHT THEN rolling past 140,000 miles! Mr B has the same year and model (2000) and his has about 155,000 on it. I've never had a car that went this far!
And speaking of going a long ways, check out this hitchhiker I picked up on Friday. I was driving home in rush hour (and it IS an hour long commute but there's not much RUSH about it or I would get home in half that time) and I see this bold grasshopper riding outside on the passenger side. He moved around quite a bit, despite being blasted with winds as high as 50mph. Look at his antennae blown back by the wind. I started worrying about him (which seems to be my main pastime - worrying about stuff), because I was afraid he was going to be dislodged to meet with a sudden splat behind me, so I started driving more carefully - like having a baby on board. ;-)

Well done. I had over three hundred thousand on my old truck before I gave it away.

That little grasshopper is King of the Road!
DrM - I removed the word verification. I forgot it was on!
