         91    Nally Car      248K                                              
~35k

Not to be a spoil-sport, but that Chevy truck has had a broken odometer
for 6 or 7 yrs.  I _know_ he drives it at least 40k just for work(I worked
with him and drove that; he drove lots more than I did).

The Dodge PU has carried 3600+lbs of payload at one time; 2000+lbs on many
occasions; towed bobcats, tractors,  and cars; pulled trucks(pick up and
small dump) out of ditches/mud; been buried to the frame in mud; driven
through construction sites; hit by - a Nissan pu, a tractor, a bobcat, and
several unidentified objects(only left paint w/ the dents).

Bro Clyde's Chevy PU has towed tractors, cars, and bobcats; loaded to
~2000lbs; pulled trucks(pick up and small dump) out of ditches/mud; and
driven through constructions sites.  And it just keeps going.  I can't
believe I'm talking good about a Chevy truck.

Knowing the abuse the primary vehicles(the trucks) have gotten; no mere
_car_ can claim to be not babied(unless it's a race car) untill the 100k a
yr barrier is reached.

I only run the car/truck until munged beyond reasonable repair.

Skip - thank God I don't have to drive as much now.
