Default What Does A Million Miles Really Tell Us?

Sometimes the story isn't the number but the people who made it a reality. Engineers, designers, past owners, the current owners, and the mechanics who kept it on the road.

Not to mention the exorbitantly high repair bills that came with the journey.

Wasn't this engine in this car rebuilt around the 700k mark? Pretty sure I read that somewhere...

aww damn this entire time i've thought it wasn't a rebuilt engine... oh well it's still an incredible number regardless. it also makes me hopeful for the future considering i'm only at 125,000 miles
