Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

In what world is 389k miles not a lot? Unless we're talking kilometers here, which I only thought about as I got this comment going, and then it's still 240, which is still a lot, IMO. Back when I used to drive a lot (feels like I keep saying that), I was doing 18-20k annually. So you're talking close to 20 years for 389k miles. Maybe 12 years isn't exactly a lot, but I think getting 20 years out of a car is very good.
In the world of German cars with diesel engines in Europe. It’s not uncommon for a 3 year old Mercedes E-class to already have 800k km on it if it’s a taxi. That’s the level of durability I expect from an ICE engine and I don’t buy cars with unproven engines (so I would never buy a first production year engine or car model)
