Miles and Miles
I was reading this article Rides rack up more lifetime miles from The Detroit News and I am still in disbelief. Well, maybe disbelief is too strong a word — more like, "Really?" Living in a big city, I don't drive as much as I used to, so I'm having a tough time understanding this.
"We consistently, on any given day, usually have multiple cars with 150,000 to 250,000 miles and quite frequently cars well over that," said [Pat] Goss, the owner of Goss' Garage in Seabrook, Md., and the host of a radio and television show with the same name.
Right! Pat Goss from MotorWeek! He's real! Sorry, I get a big kick out of seeing people out of the context I've put them in (like seeing a school teacher shopping at the grocery store… freaked me out).
Anyway, 250,000 miles? Where is everyone going? I know the country is big, but, sheesh! Any of you have a car with over 200,000 miles?

I had a 77 pontiac Bonneville, 400 cid, with 263,000 miles on it when i sold it. electric windows and door locks, all worked. Transmission was replaced about 225,000 miles. Ford F100, 390 cid, C-4 tranny, with about 290,000 miles. Sold it and bought an F150. Big Mistake.
I had a 1983 BMW 533i that had 236,000 miles on it when the odometer broke – sometime before I bought it!
