Okay, what about this site: Volvo Official High Mileage Club It looks like they send you a free window sticker, (yippieee) and you can order a grille badge. That would be worth it if it was metal or a nice shiny polycarbonate material, ya think?

While skimming the page I noticed that they have 3 categories - 150,000, 300,000, and 500,000.

Then I ran across the fellow that had just registered (in the 300,000 category) at 499,258 miles. I'm thinking that in about two weeks he'll qualify for the 500k badge - guess he just couldn't wait.

Are you a member of the site I found with the three badge types? If so, then what do the badges look like if you paid for them?

I signed up on the website. I'll post back when I get a reply. Then I'll order the badge. Not sure but I think 12 Euro's is about $17. I'll post back when I get the badge. Hopefully it will be about the same size as the grill imblem, however it looks biger. I'd like to mount it somewhere visable like the grill or near the plate.

Ordering the badge was a little tricky, I had to navigate through some pages before I stumbled upon them. I'm still not sure where to mount it. I'll have to see where it looks good first...

Yeah, you probably wont get a reply, one day I just received royal air mail in the box, so that must be their reply. I like your 188,888. I'm surprised only 548 of us have officially registered so far, seems like there should be more .
