It's awesome that you're able to maintain your cars well enough to keep them going that long, but obviously yours are not even close to a normal use case. 200k miles or 12-15 years is average [1] longevity.

- WalterBright 7y ago> It's awesome that you're able to maintain your cars well enough to keep them going that long, I actually do very little. I'm pretty easy on my cars. A mechanic once told me he couldn't believe how little wear there was on the clutch for the miles. (I habitually approximate the right engine speed before letting the clutch out.) Also, most car mechanical failures come from neglecting lubricating things.
