The 2.8 million mile man
Found on Wired on Tuesday, 10 August 2010
Irv Gordon has some advice for keeping your car running forever: Follow the factory service manual, replace worn or broken parts immediately and don't let anyone else drive your car.
Those simple rules have allowed Gordon to rack up a record-setting 2.8 million miles on his beloved Volvo P1800.
In all the years Gordon's been driving the P1800, the engine has been rebuilt just twice. The first came after 680,000 miles, when Gordon insisted on a complete teardown even though the dealer said it wasn't needed.
Too bad it's not a Dodge. Al would have a great day.
