WTF? Someone put 200k miles on it in 3 years? That is 185 miles per day, every day of the year, for 3 years straight....

1981 Chevy Malibu.

It was my grandfather's work car that he purchased for next to nothing when he retired. I started driving it in 1988 and it had over 120,000 miles on it when it was handed down to me. By 1994, it had 270,000 miles on it and that pollution control garbage was making the car run like crap. I sold it, and the person who bought it from me put another 100,000 miles on it before it died.

It is hard to believe that three of us managed to squeeze 370,000 miles out of an older American car with the original engine and transmission.

2003 Monte Carlo SS, gonna do a top swap soon and will have a supercharged 3800 Series II. with higher compression of the naturally apirated block, I will be around 270 hp, 275 ft/lb torque with a good tune, not bad for me.

Nice I love 3800 motors . My first car and still my car is 98 Buick Regal GS.

Well I got it at the end of 1998 and he bought it at the start of 1995. But my Dad does commute about 160 to 170 miles a day. And 200,000 is just rounding. it was more like 190,000.
