Two thumbs up. Nothing's cheaper than the one you already own, right?

I was gonna say, the only way a car with Ford gauges goes 400K miles is if it's a F series truck, or the gauges are transplanted into another car

Although I suppose the Escorts were fairly reliable.

Even so, have fun, here's to 100K more.

Nah, the E-series will do it too. I've got a E250 well over 400K and a E150 that's coming up on 400K and another E150 sneaking up on 300K.

Congrats. Keep in in the wind.

Gee....my DD just hit 100k, but then again she's only 3 years old...dunno how long yours has been out there but I got a feeling I still need to do some major miles to catch up :)

last time I took a pic was when my Impala rolled 100,000. Of course the picture was in 1999 and it was a 1970 model. My exploder is just about to turn 200,000

What little you can see of the tach seems to point that way

And my wife thought 56k on our '08 smart was a lot of miles. Damn!

200k is generally the point where I pull the ripcord and move onto something else.

Regardless, awesome that you've kept her running so long, SVreX

Most miles on a car ive owned is 358, followed by 315 (current dd) and 314, and then scads in the high 200s.

But the most IVE put on any one car is ~50k. In ten years of driving ive had 40+cars so i havent put hundreds of thousands on any one of them.

There's a high mile list over on SmartcarofAmerica.com I think Im in the top 10 for 451 cars, but there are others above me still.

Congrats! I used to want my car to reach 300 or 400k one day. Now, not so much. My daily has ~170k. If gas prices stayed the same, it would cost me ~$30,700 just in fuel to reach 400k.

I read an article a couple of years ago about New York City cabbies driving Lincoln Town Cars and Crown Victorias who would routinely put 500K to 600K miles on their cars.
