Yea, I can top that one.  Before my trusty Gremlin went
to that great auto-shop in the sky, I had over 200,000
miles on the original engine (excluding hoses, of course).
It was a 1973, Gremlin-X, with Levi's material (and logo)
for the seats, and was the best party-mobile I ever owned
(aside from the rusty holes on both front fenders, I never
had a problem with that car).  If that tree hadn't jumped
out in front of me one dark, rainy night, that car would
probably still be running today, with an extra 60,000
miles on it.
