[QUOTE=BReif61;7516829]I'm just surprised the odometer is still working.

It stopped working long time ago at around 200,000 the rest of the mileage calculation came from the miles i drive every year.

I had an old f-150 , when I sold it eight years ago it had close to 300,000 on it the guy i sold it to is still driving it around.

original owner of my 1983 944.

I had a 77 Chevy Caprice kept for 10 years and 130K mikes. I only got rid of it because when I got married, my wife refused to drive or sit in it. It was the best car I ever owned.

I like that "rumor has it" intro, makes me feel like the Stig.

While my DD F One Five O is not my longest owned vehicle I have had it for 15 years this month and have just had the rear brakes done for the FIRST time. I have owned my MACH1 since 1988 and 911 since 1990.

Bought my 94 Mazda B4000 new and have 398K on it. I was pleasantly surprised to average 20.5 mpg over the last 4 fillups. I had it figured for about 17 so it was just a backup.
