John Le's Camaro, with over 240,000 miles on it, has had a rough life. In addition to driving it on the streets of Miami, John also races the car.

"The car's been in five crashes," he said, "and several of them have been pretty horrific."

While the Camaro needs significant body work, it still runs well, he said, getting about 24 miles per gallon.

"It's soul and its heart continue to beat pretty strong," he said.

Man that was one of the nastiest (as in fugly) cars GM has ever made.

400k on an '07 Yaris is pretty impressive, that's some serious driving. Million-mile RAM diesel is kind of cool too.

I wonder if a VW TDI could go 1M miles? I've got the itch for a sportswagon TDI.

JoosyJoos · 04-12-2010, 05:07 PM

My friend had a Golf TDI... it was pretty invulnerable... we did some crazy shit to that car lol.

Like your username btw... I went to KU for 2 years.

FStop7 · 04-12-2010, 06:55 PM

Isn't that a V6 Camaro?

CollinsE90 · 04-12-2010, 07:23 PM

I think this is a publicity stunt for GM, both odometers read 100k and 200k with the same exact speed, and same amount of gas???? anyone else think the odometer is rigged

SantaPimp27 · 04-12-2010, 07:28 PM

My dad put 380K on his '89 5-series and it still ran completely fine when he got rid of it lol

Nah, I just think that he wanted to be going over 100 when he broke those two exceptional marks and the gas is a coincidence.
