Car Odometer Readings?

Hey, who has the car with the most mileage on the odometer (original engine)? Please be honest; this isn't about exaggerating or glorifying anything.)

Re: Car Odometer Readings?

In miles ,usually chevys dont last very long. But I think its lasting long because it has fuel injection which keeps the engine cleaner then a carburator.

Re: Car Odometer Readings?

well, i heard that fords are known to sometimes be very unreliable. apparently, the saying is that ford stands for Fix Or Repair Daily. and i thought jimmys were a GMC model, which is GM (well, chevy is also GM, i suppose, but still)

edit to my previous post: or yards or feet?

Re: Car Odometer Readings?

true. apparently, in north america it's simply known as a toyota pickup. i wonder if the new tacoma and tundra are as good.

And you can drown them, set them on fire, and drop them several stories in a controlled explosion. Very good family car
