Am I the only one that assumes the wife was driving? OP was asleep on the passenger seat, was woken by their wife for the milestone and took the picture?

Technically, nowhere it says she woke OP up.

She just remembered how important this was to OP to the point of either waking OP up and let take a pic, or take a pic on her own.

We will never know...

For the sake of symmetry, I would've liked to see her step it up by 10 or 15 MPH, get in another 85. It is a good, crisp photo though. Can't fault that.

soggy_kitty -2 points 3 years ago

It's a pointless phrase that is most often used on the internet.

It is used to whore for attention, because if someone is asking whether or not they are the only one, they should already know that the answer is "no," yet proceeds to ask anyway. Thus, "am I the only one" disguises a statement of opinion as a question.

I feel like a lot of people have never done a long road trip where you're driving hundreds of miles through the night. Taking your phone out and snapping a pic isn't a huge deal IMO. I certainly don't pull over to change my radio and taking a picture is arguably easier than that.

Maybe in the 1970s. Any modern car worth owning will be way more reliable than that if you change your oil regularly.

We have a 2004 F-150 with 565,000 miles on the original engine and it's still running great. We had to get a new transmission at 240k, and I think that's the only repair it's needed over about $200.00

I got multiple SAABs (Pre GM/1991 or older) to over 1,000,000 miles. Got one to 1,500,000. Never quite hit the golden 2,000,000 mile mark though. Plenty of other people did though. Volvo even has a couple cars that made it to 2,000,000. Don't know of any other brands that will make it that far. Maybe some unicorn of a Honda or Toyota.

Nah, there's several comments saying the same thing. Texting and driving is dangerous, yes. Taking a pic that takes literally no concentration for a few seconds on a long stretch of interstate at night, not very risky. I can almost guarantee the same people whining have fiddled with their phones to change songs/podcasts/audiobooks/GPS for a few seconds at some point in city traffic.
