My odometer just hit 222,222 and I panicked for a second

I was driving home from a job in Fresno last night and the dash rolled over to 222,222 miles on my 2004 Tacoma, and I actually pulled over to take a picture because I thought the truck was about to fall apart. This thing has survived two floods, a deer hit, and my nephew learning to drive stick on it, and somehow it just keeps going. What milestone number surprised you on something you own and made you stop and think about how long you've had it?

Hitting 222,222 on a truck that’s been through that much is a solid flex, honestly. My old Civic rolled past 300,000 last year and I did the same thing, pulled over and just stared at it for a minute. It’d survived a cracked radiator, a bush that jumped out at me at 2am, and about ten years of me forgetting to change the oil on time. I think the real surprise is when you realize the car has outlasted two phones, a relationship, and probably your patience for buying new tires. Keep that Tacoma rolling, man, those things just don’t quit.
