You think your car is reliable?

I was just about to say there are more than a few million mile Volvo's.

 

 

I believe Volvo sends owners in the club special badges for their car. Also there are VW rabbit diesels around that mileage. I actually think the highest mileage one was found in Columbus by some old guy. VW/Byers gave him a courtesy v10 tt tourag.

I wouldn't believe it if they didn;t have paper work to back it up. You can replace everything on the motor except the block and claim that mileage. That is quite impressive, almost hard to believe how clean the paint is? Highway miles kill the front of a car. (chips)

mercedes had a million mile car about a decade ago i think, they gave the owners a brand new mercedes at the time, actually i think there have been a few million mile cars

That was the first one, there are many more now. Mostly diesels.

 

Reliable =

$250 car

built in 1985

raced for 24 hours straight

and still doing donuts

 

Without the slightest mechanical hiccup.

How about that sick FWD burnout from the Colt? :cool:
I wouldn't call a car 1000 laps down reliable. :o

The grand total of lug nuts on those two front wheels: 6 or so

Studs were busted, I think, and the wheels were welded on. The last of the race, they wobbled, I'm surprised they stayed on during the burnout.
