Ok guy's, here are the rules. My 8000 post hasn't occurred yet but swiftly approaching. You could start guessing NOW. When the 8000 post does hit, this is when the game is over. The guesses will stop. I will quickly post when it does. I already took a picture (where else but inside my car. Lol.) Of the odometer showing the miles recorded. You guys have to guess how many miles I have on my 2020 Ford Fusion. MY DARK ROOM. Where I take most of my photos. I get a chuckle how you all make fun out of me doing this. Lol.
There are two prizes. Both raw coins. One is the 1942d over Horizontal d Jefferson nickel. About a Fine to VF. The other is a Tallgrass Prairie W / V75 Quarter. About a MS 63-66?

The one with the closest guess will choose which coin they want. The second closest will receive the other. Now, the closest, over or under. If there is a tie, I will flip a coin or if more than two winners, I will draw out of a hat. If someone should happen to guess EXACTLY! They will win both. The second person will receive another W Quarter. Finally, as always, one guess per person and NO EDITS. Good Luck dudes! Thanks for participating and truly being so supportive of me and being coin friends. Oh. Since you guys like my "dark room" (car) so much, here are some of my pictures I took in the past. You can continue to poke fun of me about me in my car. It humors me. :D Thanks

    I'll guess 615 miles because you only use it for going to Starbucks... and for photographing coins. Also because I don't need either of the prizes. :)

    Thanks for the contest and congrats (in advance) on 8000 posts.

    Let's see...almost 8000 posts from your car ÷ by 25 rolls per trip × 40 quarters per roll + 8 W finds a day - 1/2 cup of coffee per hour² ≈ 15 lbs per box of quarters √ E=mc² to ∞ and beyond + MS66 ∑ |x-y| = 19,868

    That's funny dude! Love your calculations. Wanna be my accountant? :D

    Thanks. Yeah, my Fusion is a great car. Love it. Love all the "bells and whistles ". Benefits of having a NEW car. My particular car is a 4 cylinder that can be boosted to a 6 cylinder. I have the Ego boost. What's really fascinating is, I personally don't attempt this, is what the speedometer reads. 160 MPH. What? On a 4 cylinder? Lol. I am now officially a "Ford Man". Esp. because of the fact I work for them. :D
    Oh, forget to mention it's equipped with a great interior for picture taking as well. :D

    Once we know the total mileage we’ll be able to triangulate your home based on the distance from Starbucks, work, church and the coin shop.

    You can buy a 2020 model in late 2019 but you work for the company so you may have gotten it earlier. However, 2020 didn’t see a lot of miles with the lockdowns. And you may have a cushy job that you live close too. Plus I’m guessing you took the picture of the mileage because of the number and then thought about the giveaway later so it’s a rounded rather than random number. Throw in the Christian Rock band Stryper.

    Lol. Stryker is ok but "Third Day and Casting Crowns" are a whole lot BETTER. Along with "For King and Country". Lol. ;)

    It’s been a few years since I listened to that record, I was close though - maybe it was the striped leotards, lol. that threw me off.

    Formed in 1983 as Roxx Regime, the band soon changed their musical message to reflect their Christian beliefs, and the band's name was also changed to Stryper.
