    Mine’s past that and going strong. Does that make me a plugger, or just practical?

    we used to watch when my father’s car would turn 100,000 or 200,000. Something magical in that…

    After 250,000 miles on my 1995 Dodge Ram 2500, I used to brag that I’d driven it past the moon.

    Only 109K on my van and since we sold our country place, I’m putting 5K a year on it. First brake job was in October, so I’m probably set for life.

    Just took my Honda Civic hybrid in for 270,000 checkup. Nothing but routine maintenance in 14 years—same engine, same clutch, same gear shift…

    When Henry Ford made cheap, reliable cars people said, ‘Nah, what’s wrong with a horse?’ That was a huge bet he made, and it worked.

    They need to stop and mark the side of the truck with the spot where it happened…
