Ok, I know there's tons of them out there!



Post pics of your old or high mileage cars that would normally be in so-so shape by this time.



I bet there's some nice ones around :waxing: .
 
The beater w/ 183k miles:

139,000 miles at the time of this photo, she's got 143k now and a *huge* dent I need to get PDR'ed out. She's wearing 50/50 x2 over EZ creme and FPII:

Not a hot rod by any means but when this picture was taken about a year ago,

I had owned it for almost 11 years and I'm sure it had at least 160,000 miles

(it now has 176,000+). It's a daily driver and has sat outside 24x7 for about

the last 2 1/2 years. I take it to the ball field where there's ton's of sand and

my kids get in it with their cleets full of dirt and sand.



It's the vehicle I brought both my babies home with from the hospital in and it

is now part of the family. I've had virtually no problems with it since I owned it

and plan to keep it til it dies or the air conditioning goes out. I don't think I could

take a Columbia SC summer in a black vehicle and no air no matter how much

I love it.

My 1999 toyota tacoma SR5 Xtra cab.

116,400 miles( ok so this is so not high mileage for a toyota haha)

K&N air intake

Gibson exhaust

otherwise its all stock and shiny. nowheree close to perfect but considerin my dad neglected the paint for years before me or him knew how to take care of our cars(i put stickers on it, which I pain stakingly removed).

yep.
 
280,285 miles on my 1990 Honda Accord when I sold it. I believe the mileage was well over 250,000 when these pics were taken, around 200,000 when I took the engine shot.

Here is my 1996 Olds Cutlass that I sold a month ago with nearly 150,000 miles. It had sat outside for about 6 of the 9 years I owned it. I listed it in the paper for $2200 and I already had a call on it at 1PM the day it was first in the paper. That guy came that night and looked at it and bought it five minutes after the test drive. He commented at least a couple times on how it was in such good shape.

Here's my '88 S-10. Bought it from my brother when I turned 16. Drove it from '98 to '03. When I bought a new car, I let my dad use it as a work truck. In this pic, I think the truck was sitting at about 195-200k miles. Now it has nearly 250k miles and still runs great. Unfortunately since my dad is a construction superintendent, it looks much rougher than when I cared for it. Most reliable vehicle my family has ever owned!
