My car turned over 200K yesterday. It had about 16 on it when I got it, so soon I will have put 200K miles on it. How many on yours? ---

My 1989 GMC S-15 has almost 350,000 miles on it. When I bought it 2 1/2 years ago, I was told the engine, which is a replacement that came out of a wrecked Chevy Blazer, has even more. It’s been a pretty good little $800.00 truck. 🙂 ---

2004 Ford Explorer. It only has 27K on it. Service people are always amazed when they see that. It was in storage for a year and work isn’t that far away. The majority of miles were put on during several Chicago to east coast trips. ---

2000 Kia Sephia, 90800 miles (give or take 50 miles; I happened to note the mileage the other day, because I need an oil change). Bought it in 2003 with 35,000 miles on it. The car I owned prior to the Sephia was a 1984 Olds Delta 88 Royale which had been used for car parts delivery for a friend’s business. When it finally died in 2003 (from being t-boned, not from disrepair), I was a few thousand miles away from 400,000. ---
