1997 Chevy Tahoe. 193,000 miles. Purchased new in November, 1996.It's still my daily driver. I know I'm pressing my luck, so I'm starting to look for a replacement.

The Prowler is my 43rd (I think) vehicle I have owned and the only one I have had more than 36 months. It had 1800 miles on it when I purchased it so I have put 122,000 on it and will continue to drive it daily at least until some time late next year.

I don't know for sure. I think maybe it is my Honda Goldwing motorcycle that has just under 100,000 on it. I have not been using it as much the past couple of years. No long trips on it since the POA started having so many good trips. (except a couple of trips we took the bike to a Prowler event.)

1969 Impala SS427 Sport Coupe purchased late in 1968. Drove it almost 125K before selling it in the early 80's to a collector from Sterling, Colorado. Went through the second engine twice but ended up driving it probably 80K.

1976 ford F-150 XLT I have over 370k on it and at least 4 maybe 5 different raps in the motor, i still use it only to plow my yard with. It now has no floors, just front brakes no muffler but it sill starts, it's strong enough for a yard truck but not strong enough to blow itself up. It won't Die.Toys

The most miles we put on a single vehicle was 131,000 on a 93 Dodge Caravan. Kind of traded it for the Dodge Ram I have now. But we still drive it some and it currently has 167,000But I had a 1983 Chevy Elcamino with a 5.7 liter Diesel (only seen 4 factory elcamino's with Diesels) I bought it in 1988 for $2,500 and it had 142,000 miles on it. I loved this cauck (car/truck). I had very little trouble with it and sold it in the early 90's with 242,000 + miles on it. The engine had never been out of it. I rebuilt the fuel pump and replaced the trans. I wish I had kept it, 29 mpg new and over 21 mpg with low compression and 242,000 miles

1988 Ford Mustang LX 4 CYL 5 speed, Bought new for $7,000. Ran her for 223,000 very very trouble free miles. Original Engine, tranny (except for clutch) and rear-end.... Was hit when at 199K, and due to the value or lack thereof, the insurance company tried to total it.. wouldn't let them. There was no mechanical damage, needed a headlight and hood straightened.. Fought them, won, they paid 1500 to get it fixed.... Drove it till it started smoking.... Best daily driver I have ever owned.....
