I think there was a diesel Benz that hit 2.85 million (it was a Greek Taxi) and the world record is Irv Gordon and his 1966 Volvo P1800—at 2.5 million miles.
Still really impressive.

Just a few weeks ago I saw an older VOLVO station wagon at my local Shop-Rite. On the front grill it had a VOLVO badge that said "Certified 1,000,000 miles". Then under it was ANOTHER VOLVO badge and it said "Certified 2,000,000 miles". That's a lot trips around the block!

 So, the 2.5 million mile car has the record.... and the 2.85 million mile benz does not?

I have 185,000 on the Camaro and 126,000 on the T/A, I've put 10k on the T/A sense I picked it up, and I bought the Camaro with 160,000.

About 6 months ago I remember reading that a SAAB went 1 million miles. I think SAAB gave him a new car in trade for his.
I wonder how much of that Million Mile Truck is still original. Figure that the tranny had to be rebuilt at least twice to go that far.
