Moonie's Ramblings

You... you surprised me.

Miles traveled in the Impala by season:

20,290
27,225
14,390
15,383
27,498
19,249
9,957
44,290

Total mileage for the first 8 seasons on the Impala: 178,282.

However, in season 1 we see the Impala’s odometer, and it has 70,098 miles showing on it in. If we subtract the known mileage from before that episode, when Dean first visited Sam at Stanford, his odometer probably read somewhere near 58,081, for a total of 236,363.

But the odometer on the Impala only has 5 digits, so we have to assume that it has turned over a few times, with John and Dean driving it for hunting purposes since 1984.

If we average the mileage per year we get a mean of about 22,285. If we assume that kind of mileage since 1984 (minus a few years for things like Dean parking it in Indiana for a year, etc.), the Impala probably has around 534,846 miles on it. Give or take. And this is just known highway mileage, not including driving within cities.

I love that someone actually took the time to figure out now only a map for each season of where the boys have driven but the number of miles driven in total (and season!). Plus they went the extra mile of speculating the total miles that the Impala may have had on it within her lifetime. That's impressive!

One of the things I always find really interesting about language is the number of color words. More simplistic languages have fewer color words… and they progress in complexity in predictable ways. If there are two words, they are light and dark. The third is red.

Our language is amazing.

According to National Geographic, this is what the average American will look like in the year 2050.

Love the coloring of her eyes.
