will hit the # of Kms equivalent to 200,000 Miles.

I have been in vehicles at the time that they hit:
100,000 Miles (3 times)
100,000 Kms (2 times)
200,000 Kms (3 times)
300,000 Kms (1 time)
200,000 Miles (soon ...)

Actually this is one (out of many photos), I'm using a DSLR, manual AF, etc. (everything was setup before I started the car). At the right time I took the camera and pushed the button... I did ~30 pictures. This was on an empty highway (Autobahn FTW!) during night (exposure time was an issue, most photos are not so good)...

I once returned a city and district bus to the depot with precisely 800,000 km on its odometer. But I feel a little hard done by because despite always noting the kms like you do and having driven about 350,000-400,000 km in buses over 12 years, that's the one and only time I believe I've brought a bus past a multiple of 100,000 km.

It would be nice if someone had a picture of a Mersenne prime exponent on his/her cars odometer like 216091 km or 859433 km

That's 11 days for 1M, this time.

I guess the LL-tests have diminished as well...

The rates of completion of LL tests per day have been trending up since a low point around Dec 2010 - Jan 2011. This is the orange line on the attached graph, scale to left (the scale is tests completed per day). This is for the tradition range to 79.3M. Most of the data points are 7 - 10 days apart.
