Celebrating the longevity of car ownership.
A few weeks ago, I posted a quick Youtube blurb about a man who put over 700,000 Miles on his Chevy Suburban. You can see the video again below. Well, I had to know more, so I contacted the owner and he was happy to talk about his vehicle with us. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MpcR4Y4SLSE Robert Ralummus purchased... Continue Reading →
To start of the week's news, I wanted to pose a question to the HMC audience. Aaron L. posed a great question in the comments earlier today. His vehicle has around 185,000 miles and rust is starting to creep onto his car. He was wondering how all of the high-milers out there mitigating the... Continue Reading →
Here is an older story that comes to us from HMC reader Paolo. The Daily Mail reports on a 1994 Audi A6 Quattro that has gone over the half-million mile level. This is certainly the first Audi I've seen to hit that milestone. Brian Greenslade from Barnstaple, Devon bought the car in 1994 and took crazy... Continue Reading →
We have an amazing story for you today. I was recently contacted by Ben Clopot, who had recently acquired a 1966 Mercedes Benz 250se Coupe and promptly fell in love with it. He was shocked when he discovered the vehicle had accumulated 1,283,575 miles or just over 2 million Kilometers over its lifetime. He didn't... Continue Reading →
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QJ_WL7bTPa4 Today's Youtube short is a Mercedes that has eclipsed the 300,000 mile mark. The driver even gets himself those nifty high-mileage badges. He's taken great care of his car. I hope we see more from this man and his 1997 E320. We may see him in the Hall of fame yet.
It's been a slow news week here at HMC. Not a lot of pings out there in terms of high-mile vehicles. I'm always scanning the net in search of the next super-high mile car, but things are a little dry at the moment. I do have a couple of exclusives in the pipeline, so stay... Continue Reading →
One of the aims of this website is to document and catalog the amazing longevity people have achieved with their vehicles. While it is darn near impossible to get that drunken photo of yourself off Facebook, many news stories start to fade away in time. Eventually, they sink into the deep web where they become...

A little while back I remember writing the article about Irv Gordon and his super accomplishment and thinking about another driver who had taken his car over 2.5 millions miles. At the time I looked everywhere, but I couldn't find anything. Somehow, I was able to track down an article that had the info. The story... Continue Reading →
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MpcR4Y4SLSE These 700,000 mile SUVs and trucks are starting to pop out of the woodwork. It's amazing. I need to start getting info from these people. They belong on the Hall of Fame. Today's youtube find is a 1999 Chevrolet Suburban 1500 2WD with a whole lot of miles on it. I'm trying to get... Continue Reading →
Whoa! This just came across my digital desk tonight. This forum, that specializes in Duramax Diesels, has a user named 86burgandyss who says his truck is now over 700,000 miles. He also claims he is aiming for a million. I'm tempted just to sign up to those forums just so I can interview him. We all know diesel... Continue Reading →
