    She’s a Million, what is the furthest you know of anyone doing like her?

    Many years ago, my brother-in-law and sister had a Honda that was over 150,000 miles on the speedo.
    And I had other associates who were proud, when they got near the 150K mark.

    But none of them was, as dedicated and passionate as these traveling owners.

    The grandmother of traveling wheels, has to be the 1966 Volvo P1800.

    The late Irv Gordon, drove over 3 Million Miles in his red Volvo. Apparently the New York school teacher from Long Island loved driving his Volvo. He would take the longer route and the farthest-distant facility’s location, when going to get coffee, donuts or ice cream.

    Routinely adjust the valve and change the oil every 3500 miles, helped Irv and the Volvo travel the equivalent of 6 Round Trips to the Moon.

    I've got around 230K on my 95 K1500 but I've replaced just about everything on this vehicle. Just last month I had to replace, ign. switch, turn signal switch, headlight switch, TPS, and gauge cluster. Everyone of them was bad.

    I put relays on all my Camaro switches. Crazy how fast the windows are now. Headlights are twice as bright too. A/C blower hi speed. Switches on the chebbies can't handle the load and fail.
