111,111.1 Miles
I spent about a week preparing to be absolutely certain to hit the Trip B reset at the right time, then had to wait a week during a trip to California to see it. It turned over on the way home from the airport, and I came within about two seconds of missing it at 45mph.

Haha that's sick! I did the same when my CL-S hit 100k. I instantly pulled over and took a picture

I always want to take the right picture but I always forget. the last one that I wanted to take was 22,222. I looked down at the odo and I was at 22,223. I even had the camera ready. Oh well.

Haha! Good one! I live in New Hampshire, so I don't have to! 
But seriously, I always wear my seatbelt - note the speedo at zero. I had pulled off on a side street for the photo. I cut it quite close - I made the U-turn and before I reached the intersection, Trip B had gone to 111.2.

I guess the next trick is going to be:
.....789.0
123456
Let's see, I'm almost to 112,000 now, so that'd be another five to six months, or maybe a bit less if we drive the TL to Michigan and back this December. Reset trip B at 122667 and change, if I'm calculating correctly.

Here we go - 123,456 miles with 789.1 miles on the trip meter. I have a photo of 789.0 miles, but my hand shifted during the exposure (considering that I was going 60mph at night in rush-hour traffic, not much) so I need to figure out how to fix that in GIMP before it can be uploaded.
