Man's car racks up 1 million miles

Man's car racks up 1 million miles

[MrJavaman]

Impressive as this is, there’s a story of a 2007 Toyota truck with a million miles on it with the same original engine.

"I paid for the whole odometer so im gonna use the whole odometer"
-this guy

[arick]

We need more people like him, valuing what he has and taking care of it.

[Aknilox]

I have a car like this. It had 7 engines, 5 body replacements, 4 transmissions, and 3 car replacements. He is going strong at 40, 000 miles

[paulcorreggio]

1 million miles on the body...333, 333 on each engine. Still impressive.

[bradycrane]

“3 engines later”
That’s not a true 1 million miles.

[thalt]

He drove so much that his odometer couldn't even display it, that's impressive.

[BlackVentions]

This is not news. It's three engines later!

[hatchingdraggon]

I also have a 20 year old broom. It's had 7 replacement handles and 16 replacement brushes and still going strong.

[DriveBY]

Even with 3 engines that’s still pretty good over 300, 000 miles average per engine

[livinglifeleona]

I love my vehicle so much that I want to keep it forever. Engine changes and whatever it takes, is in for the long haul. <3

I knew a guy who frequently had to drive across the country for work. He had an old Volkswagen Beatle that hit 1 million. He had paperwork for all of the work he's ever had to have done to it, and once Volkswagen heard that his car hit a million, they bought the car back from him and gave him a brand new car.

[nytrusbeatz]

The guy has driven far past the diameter of the sun! (864, 000 miles) What a legend!

[Turtle]

A great car. I can hear the love and appreciation he has for her. It’s sad that most people do not appreciate their cars nowadays.

[WockToPoland]

When I was young, I appreciated my cars, they were all carbureted engines with no computers. Now, I drive a computer on wheels and I have no love or appreciation for my car anymore.

[gordonfischer]

If you were wondering the highest mileage car is a 1966 Volvo p1800s with over 3 million miles. Best part is it still has the original engine!

[Smarterthanyou-mthrfkr]

My 1 million mile car has had four engines, and two body replacements, 2 transmissions, it’s all original.

[FelixHelix]

My aunt's 2001 Toyota Celica is just over 750, 000 miles with the original 4-cylinder. Had to repair the A/C and the transmission and it certainly isn't the most attractive but otherwise it's still going strong.

[redjstc]

3 engines later, and the body of the car looks beautiful

[vinyldash]

You usually see this kind of mileage on semi trucks, not sedans. Impressive to say the least.
