182k on my turboed 1993 Miata (It does leak some oil after hard sessions)

172K on my 1994 Civic VX

318K on my 1982 Rabbit Diesel (really runs on veggie oil )

High mileage cars FTW!

The car is a project car for my brother and I.

We converted it last summer, when it was around 300k. Most of the miles since then have been highway miles (we only use the car for winter and summer long road trips.) The car got around 47MPG on diesel, and gets around 38-40 on the veggie oil. We have a 15 gallon tank, so it gets us pretty far.
 
My old astro had 440k on it. The only thing that stopped it from running was gettting t-boned at an intersection. MY current astro has 225k. It has a tiny oil drip and isnt in the best shape but it still runs good.
 
My dad's old 95(?) pontiac bonniville had 5k miles on it when he bought it, he got rid of it last year and it had 201K miles on it. He drives 100+ miles every day to work and back. Including saturdays.

whats the veggie oil thing? can you tell me, i'm interested in alternet fuels and such 🙂
 
181k on my personal car (95 Chevy Blazer), bought with 157k.

Dad's S10 will turn 300,000 soon (if it hasn't already). I'm going to visit my parents this weekend, I'll have to check and see if it's hit it yet. I think it's a 1992 or a 1993. Original engine and transmission.
 
180K on my 96 Chevy Blazer, bought it with 131K on it....

My dad's 94 dodge intrepid has 226K on it and runs perfect

Mom's 97 chevy lumina as 143K on it and runs fine...

High mileage vehicles are A-OK in my book.
