I'm running my 2008 Toyota until the engine melts a hole in the floor and I have to push it like the Flintstones
What Toyota? A lot of their engines will do 500k miles with normal maintenance easy. My LC had 300k miles right now.
FJ cruiser nearing 150k miles.
Just changed the radio for a 160$ android system and a huge screen, and rear view camera (another 60ish), gives me 90% of all the bells and whistles I want from modern cars.
O yeah thats got the 1GR in it. You can do 400k miles with no issues in that thing.
as long as you keep up with the bare minimum of oil changes.
I know a family who doesn't believe in oil changes, they go though a lot of cars
Yea that's like smoking a few packs a day, drinking like a fish, and eating baconators for every meal and then wondering why you're dying at 30...gotta do the bare minimum at least lol
Though I did know someone who would basically buy a car drive it until the tires were bald and trade it in for the next one... pretty sure they didn't change the oil either.
