Peter Gilbert and the Million-Mile Saab 900SPG

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=prvMuCTSvJY I just want to warn you about this story. It's not new. In fact, it goes back about eight years. But that does nothing to diminish the notability of Peter Gilbert and his 1989 million-mile Saab. He treated himself to a new sports car and drove it for the next seventeen years. He even...

Horn-tooting here.

I don't like to talk about myself here. I'd rather the stories of the car owners and their wonderful vehicles shine through. However,  I did want mention that I recently crossed a small milestone on my new car and thought it would be a great way to get people talking about their own cars. So...

1994 Subaru Legacy with 516,000+ miles on it

I have a few more of those high-mile Subarus to cover, so let's get to it. Perter Carbee bought his Subaru used with 145, 000 miles on the odometer and then drove it to the moon and back. Well, at least that is what it seems like. It hasn't been a trouble free journey for...

Man Puts 800,000kms on Volvo. Races it.

Here's an interesting, albeit older story from wheels.ca. The author, Ian Law, bought a 1982 Volvo GLT, and used it as a regular car for two years. Then he started to race it in autoslalom races and won a number of them with his car. In fact, over the 30 years he's owned it, the...

1968 Mustang with over 800, 000 miles

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=--yRARrgZMg Why have I not blogged about Carol Marini yet? I read about her and her Hardtop V-8 Mustang about six months ago, and yet I still haven't put her in the hall of fame. Well, I'm about to fix that right now. Carol bought her Mustang way back in 1968, and let me tell you, the...

1995 Honda Civic EX with 400,000 Miles

I found this story a couple of weeks ago but promptly forgot about it. It won't make the hall of fame, but it's notable none the less. Buckeye Honda and Toyota are reporting on a customer of theirs who has driven his 1995 Honda Civic 400,000 miles. That is not bad at all.  He is...

2007 Ford F-250 First Responder with over 500,000 Miles

Here's a story from Ford's social webpage in regards to a first responder truck that put in some serious time on the roads in Minnesota. The MDT says they haven't had any major mechanical issues with the 2007 Ford F-250 Super Duty truck either. Sounds like a real work horse here.  It's also a rare V10...

1981 Subaru DL with 510,000 miles

I hope everyone had a good weekend. I went skiing with some friends, and my legs are pretty battered this morning. I probably should have gone out for a half-day of skiing before that trip. Live and learn. Anyway, on with the high-mile Subarus. We are still plunging into that webpage that had a treasure...

2000 Subaru Impreza with 547,000 miles

So, let's take a crack at those Subarus. First up we have a 2000 Impreza with 547,000 on the clock. Not too shabby at all. Owner Mike Metzler has been using it for medical deliveries and it has seen its share of deer smacking and fender benders. Still, he says it's never stopped going when...

Oh boy, Here come the Subarus

             I found this secret cache of high-mile subarus on the net. Well, it's not so secret. I plan to talk about a few of these cars in the next few weeks. It will be nice to get away from trucks for a while. I used to own a Subaru...
