Historians will want to look back & change the names of institutions named for people who owned Priuses. Those ridiculous un-battery-recyclable status symbols built on the backs of cobalt-mining children that made the leash China has us on for rare minerals like lithium even shorter. Well done. I'll take my 86 Honda Civic, of which I am the original owner, which has gotten and STILL gets 40 mpg, any day of the week.

I plan to be buried in Inga or Birgitta. Both 1993 Volvo 240 Classics. Both over 200,000 miles.

No precious metals required for my Swedish women.

I said that about my girl for a long time. I have now decided to will her to my mechanic, who loves her dearly.

Mine's a Toyota Corolla, 2007, plus it's got my old Brewer's sticker on it. Priceless. I will keep it until it hits 300,000 miles or I die first.

My 2012 Corolla has 144,000 miles, nothing goes wrong with it. My son said I should get a good car...I told him I have a good car!

Toyotas (and their "luxury" up-brand Lexus) are awesome. We have a 2008 FJ and 2009 RX350, both over 150K miles, and both run beautifully with the appropriate amount of maintenance :)

My little girl just turned 375,000 miles the other day. I always video moments like that. I went bananas when she turned 333,333.3, lol. Anyway we are going for half a million, at which time I am going to call Honda & see what kind of accolades they want to bestow.

How cool will that be. I heard a story about a guy who drove a volkswagen 500K miles & they gave him a free one, but it could be an urban myth. Worth a try, but I'd still drive my girl.

Heard the same thing about Toyota. I think it was real.
