The Malibu and Fiat we bought new. When we bought the Chevy we and just gotten married and were moving to Poughkeepsie, the State promoted my wife to a job in Troy about 90 miles away. Doing that for three years, then she got moved closer to about 45miles. We're also about 100 miles form our families and we drove it all over the East Coast on vacation. Now the Fiat has taken over as the good (her) car and I drive the Chevy to work every day 80 miles each way.

1,111,000 on 3 vehicles!

425k on the Dodge diesel that spent many years as a service truck for restaurant equipment.

390K 1991 Ford Escort...was a grandma car for the first 79k then a pizza delivery/DD since.

296K 96 Mustang V6as a DD.

We did just replace a 93 Escort DD with 280k with a 05 Crown Vic (civilian model) with only 85k so 2 weeks ago the count would have been 4 cars...1,391,000.

That puts our driveway at 1.247 million miles recorded, and probably half as much again in unrecorded miles.

Then again, my next door neighbor is a semi owner/operator and he bought his Volvo at over a million miles. I'm sure many tractor owners could make this a silly thread in a hurry.

We run the gamut: 1967 Le Mans has 270,000 on it, but I haven't driven it in the better part of 10 years at this point. Wife's 2004 TSX just turned over 50,000.

3 cars: 150k + 150k + 3k ~ 300k.

We should compare the average mileage per junk instead of total junk miles since Aussie would just buy another car if we get anywhere close to him.

Its all timing. A year ago it would have been 250K over three cars but we replaced them all with our current 2.
