190,000 miles

usually i can tell who makes the car just by looking at the gauges but im lost on this one... ford or VW perhaps?

Nope... 1986 BMW 5 series.

i was close!~ .... sorta, haha. if there was the oil life led's in there i would have known right off the bat :-)

You mean the service indicator LEDs? Yeah, that's always a dead giveaway.

My car has quite a long way to go before it gets to that point...

im about 31k shy of that... im sure it will make it, but god only knows how much oil i will be adding every month to get it there. However, mine had a used tranny put in it at about 100k miles.

Ok... going by that pic... Im guessing... .. . . . . . Honda? a new-ish Civic, perhaps?

I just sold my truck with 242K on it. I'm pretty sure it's got at least another 50k or more of life in it easily.

My 1998 Saturn SW1 has only 42,000 miles on it. When I started driving it, it had only 21,266 miles on it. So, in the past 3 years since I started driving, I have put 20,000+ miles on it. Not bad at all.

I hope to keep driving it well past 300k. That is what the manufacturer has rated these machines to run until (though I know many people who have run well past that number.

Our last car was a '93 SW1, and I don't know how many miles it had because the odometer stopped working at 159k I would guess, based on time and driving habits, it probably went to about 220k before we gave up on it (3 straight years of $1.5k/year of repairs...).

You're close. It's my new Honda Fit.

i was thinking about getting that or a toyota yaris sometime next may...

Mine has a (new for that year) digital odometer/tachometer. It goes to 6 digits, so I assume that means 1,000,000 miles -1. Fun thing is I think it's backlight by a small CCFL (I drove a baseline SL from around the same year, and it's od/tach was dark. This was at night, and mine is lit up 24/7.) Odd since it's a segmented LCD, and you would think this being a cheaper car, they would use EL backlighting. But what do I know.

My next car (though I plan on keeping this one around forever since it was my grandmother's and it's priceless), will either be another saturn (aura or Sky), or a VW of some sort with a TDI Diesel.

But that should not be for many many years.

Sweeeet. It looks great in black. Good luck w/ it.

I'm a bit over
It's a '96 Chevy Lumina with 272,214 miles

However the transmission was rebuilt.

Eeeeeww... an automatic!

That's a lot of miles. How many miles ago was the trans rebuilt?

I wish it was a manual, but for the price i'm not complaining

The trans was rebuilt at about 202,833 miles

My 77 Datsun has at least 270,000 on it. Its only got 5 digits on the odometer, but there is no way its only 170.

I've got 203,000 on my '97 Civic. Original tranny + engine, neither have been rebuilt...the funny thing is, I put 100,000 of those on in 3 years...my parents bought it new in 1997.

Still runs like a champ and hopefully will for a couple more years

No idea how many miles mine has - the odo and speedo have been broken more than a decade.

Whatever it's done, it's done it in 40 years this January.

1969 Falcon Futura 302 V8. My love.

Nice looking car. I had the chance to buy a restored '64 Falcon about a decade ago, but I passed it up.

Thats a good looking car! I love it.

My first car was a '65 Falcon Sprint -- a great little car.

Wish I'd taken better care of it. I've learned a lot since I was 19.
