My Show car has had 114-115K for the past 4 years. My Optra is at 93,000 and it was bought 3.5years ago I do about 26,500 too 30,000 worth of driving every year. I'm hoping to have the car till the wheals fall off. LOL

I bought my Ranger with 97k on it. Driving 100+ miles roundtrip every workday has now given me 176k. Still going strong!

Just rolled 220k on the Celeb today. I think the 6k winter wagon has about 255k. My Trans Sport van has about 285k. My old 6k wagon has 255k.

True my Celeb and 6k winter wagon don't work as hard since hypermiling. But I've had all my cars long before hypermiling and they have worked hard. I never really went over the speed limit much but I used to drive zippier than I do now. My van hauls pulls my wood trailer and my travel trailer. My old 6k wagon used to pull the wood trailer, I used to take it off roading, and since 2005 it has remained at 255k while it plows my driveway every winter using a powered V plow I built for it. All my vehicles have GM V6s and 4 speed automatics and it's like the drivetrains are built like tanks. When the wheels are ready to fall off I'll go to Swain's junkyard and get some more bearings and put the wheels back on.

my old del Sol 93, sold to my sis-in law, just turned 210k
wifes 92 Prelude, 145K
wifes 98 Passport, 185K
94 Miata, 71K (project on hold for now)
99 Corolla, 243K
98 Dodge Ram 3500, 187K (biodisel Project as soon as I can upgrade to an Air Dog Raptor FP)
86 Dodge Shelby Charger, 14K. Original owner. First car I ever got 40 MPG in.
57 Chevrolet 3100, ?K was my dads another almost done resto project.

Other than my Toyota, all vehicles are garaged. All are older & well cared for.

First thing is to find a keeper wife, that can tolerate all of our idiosyncracies! We both have high miles but are well cared for as well!

BTW, I only voted for my Toyota,
Dave

I just sold my 1994 Chevy Suburban 4X4 it had 265,000. We finnaly gave in purchased a new family ride having 4 kids and two big dogs we needed the space. Since it was running and paid for we kept it longer than we planned. City was 9.5mpg and about 12mpg on the highway. It had a 44 gal gas tank and cost a fortune fill up. We now have a 2007 Chrystler Town and country Limited. It is averaging 22mpg. With the increase in insurance, the car payment, and gas it is 3 times more expensive to drive then the old Burb. Funny how that works.

The 2000 civic HX, My Daily driver, is now at just over 205k miles

The 2006 Mustang, Yolanda's Daily driver, is now at 148k miles...

1992 Ford Explorer is at 385k miles...

The 1978 full size 4x4 van is unkown.. I've only had it for < 2 years and have < 10k miles on it since we got it and rebuilt the motor.. Its lot in life is to be a Tow rig, so its not driven much at all and at 10mph, thats a good thing.

We gave away the 95 neon at 305k miles...

I only have a couple proof picts.. both are from the Explorer from some of milestones.. it hit 300k in 2004 and 333,333 in 2006. Since getting the Honda the Explorer is no longer a daily driver, which again, is a good thing at 15-17 mpg but since I'm way too new.. (still reading, looking for more tips to keep 40+ mpg on the hx) I can't post the proof
