Back in the 1970s when Pintos were new and common, a friend bought one new. He hated it soon after purchase, but it was cheap on gas and worked as a commuter. The resell value was almost scrap metal rate. His goal was to hit 100,000 miles before he scrapped it. At 99,950 miles he was rear ended by a dump truck. Amazingly the gas tank was OK. He drove it another 50 miles just to hit 100K, and drove it to the scrap yard. He got a nice insurance check and he was happy to be rid of it.
