What kind of Frankenstein are you still keeping alive until COVID car pricing is over? 

Wife drives a 12 Venza that's in great condition with only 130k we'll probably give to our daughter in a year or two and replace hers with a hybrid or EV 

My personal science project is an 06 Tahoe that just rolled 276k on the way home.  Runs great, drives great, salt is starting to take it's toll but I plan to get one more winter and 300k+ out of it.  Then hopefully replace it in spring.  

 

Update 3/1/2022 

Frankenstein rolled 10,000 engine hours today on the way home from work... or 416.6666666666667 days.  

Onwards to 300K we go before summer.

Your arms would have vibrated off about 11,500 miles ago.

We have a 2012 Ram with 98K kms, a 2018 Ford Focus with 78K kms on it. No idea what's next for a vehicle as there's no rush to spend any money

Geesus George, that's 60,000 miles on a 10 year old truck. Those are retired old man numbers....lol

 

My '12 Ram has 180k Canadian miles (110k US miles) but it now has 2 holes in the box. I'm likely going to have those fixed and keep driving it. It still does what I need it to do and the interior is immaculate.

My '07 F250 6.0 Supercab Diesel work truck now has 370k Can. miles (225k US miles) and it keeps on ticking. Its been a plow truck since new. I bought it 3 years (90k Can. miles) old from a landscaper for $25k. It owes me nothing. My employees hate it, says the seat is fucked up but it fits me fine. I hope to run it for 2 more years then move to a Crewcab.

Trading my rust bucket f150 in for a new one.  no where have i seen 10k for a high mileage rust bucket with most of the electrical not working. 

My 18 chevy has 160,000 on it. Trans went out at 100,000. Other than that I have not done anything to it other than basic maintenance. 

About to let my Escalade go.  165k on it with 100 of it being under boost.

He has had to deal with Clown550 so yes I guess.

2008 Odyssey 320k miles

2010 Focus 205k miles

2012 F150 145k miles

Keeping up on the maintenance is really the key to keeping the high mileage vehicles going.  I do all the oil and fluid changes so I can give everything the once over to catch any potential problems.

The last vehicle to leave me stranded was actually the newest one with the least miles.  Water pump went out about 5 miles from the house.  $100 tow, $400 in OEM parts, and a night in my garage and I had the water pump and everything around it replaced ready for another 150k.

Anyone seen the price of tires now?    Let's go Brandon!

No problems with that so far but I'm sure it is coming.  I haul my sled and ATV in the back all the time.  Most of what I do are loaded miles.  Plus many landscape supply store runs with 2000 pounds of rock in the bed.

My 2015 f350 has 340k mi on it. It's been good except for frontend work every year and now going in tomorrow on a rollback for electrical issues. My last truck was a 2011 f350 with 775k mi when I sold it. Replaced  engine at 400k, still has the original transmission and rearend in it. I think the current owner is close to 800k right now. That truck got yearly front end rebuilds otherwise was pretty reliable

100% my rear shocks are done, camera isnt working, back up sensors not working, and it needs front end work.  shitty gravel roads and lots of towing.

Gravel is awful for any vehicle.  The paint and frames take a beating and the dust gets everywhere.

That’s a shit load of miles. I think you’ll take the gold here 👍

Yeah i can really rack up the miles on a good year. I only run October to july then take the summer off. Someday i keep thinking i should put in a full year to see how many miles i can do  but i don't want to work that hard lol

1999 or 2000 Honda CRV with the 5 speed - aka - Big rHonda

Rust - check

oil leaks - check

200k+ miles - check

cheapest all season tires the Fleet Farm has - check

2015 Honda Accord Coupe 6-6 is about to roll 100k - solid

2003 Honda Accord Coupe 6-6 is at 216k and very reliable, showing its age though

2013 Honda Accord Coupe 6-6 37k just bought for $15k OTD - a steal

2005 Chevy 1500HD 192k - rusty but trusty - threw $2k at her this summer to hopefully get another 3-4 winters

I couldn’t imagine owning an automobile/light truck without being able to do the work on it myself. Now, I’m really getting WAY too old/fat to crawl around on the floor but I’m working on resolving that part. 
 

I say this and I lack pretty much all home repair skills so there’s that. If I could just find a few solid local home repair guys to swap labor for labor, I’d be all set.
