Fell asleep while wife was driving home last night, she went above and beyond by remembering how important this was to me...

Also going 69 MPH? Nice.

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?

- Yeah, it's literally in the title.

  which means she took this picture while driving 110 km/h

- "am I the only one" is such a garbage statement. Overused attention seeking hyperbole.
  
  I came to Lemmy to avoid this Reddit shit

  Huh? It's a very commonly-used English expression, nothing remotely related to Reddit

  Am I the only one who came to Lemmy for more of that shit?

I hate people that text and drive. Pull over.

- Wife took a picture, there is no texting and driving

  I mean, she was definitely using her phone while driving at 70mph. Does it really matter whether or not she was taking a pic or sending a text? It's still incredibly dangerous.

glad she slowed down to 70mph before taking the pic

- If you look closer, you’ll see she’s doing 69.

  oh, that would be unsafe on the road

- 70 mph so 110kmh. Basically standing from a German perspective. :)

The maintenance gets tough after 80,000 miles. She's a good wife for letting you know the good days are done.

- 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

  Lol it was just a joke trying to pretend that the post wasn't because the odometer says BOOBS

- How about 180k?

  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.

Mine got angry at me for taking my picture, but she was talking about her dead dad at the time. (I didn't say a word, just pulled out my camera and snapped the picture).

For context, they were astranged and she was relieved he died.

- insert advice from random r/relationshipadvice user recommending you divorce and immediately go no contact

  Hit a lawer, delete the gym. Get a facebook.

- And that seemed like the best time for a selfie to you?

  Where did I say anything about a selfie?

What car is this dashboard from?

- My 2011 Nissan Sentra had this exact dashboard.
  
  Despite the awful CVT I still love that car

If it ain't foggy at night: turn off your fog lights. They're blinding oncoming traffic.

Am I the only one here who doesn't see the big deal? Op probably had to glance at their phone for like 2 seconds. If you're going straight with no traffic I think that's an extremely common thing to do once and a while, even to just switch music or whatever.

- 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.

- You don't even need to look. Every smartphone will open the native camera app if you double tap the power button, while the screen is off.

bro that is fucking stupid. Driving at 70 mph on a highway and capturing the “80085” milestone 💀💀

Ah yes, dangerous driving by idiots who don't care if they kill people.

Classic.
