Was talking to a fella with an 81 VW Diesel Rabbit at the gas station Saturday... It looked pretty rough... Turns out it has 405,000 miles on it... It is on the second engine, but that engine has 300,000 on it.... He is worried that the rust is finally going to cause the body to buckle in the center - but says it is OK because he has a parts car at home with only 200,000 on the body and he can swap the engine over to it... He works 7 days a week and drives just under a 100 miles a day...
I usually get 200,000 on my pickups, but they are really tired by then...
