I just passed 104,000 miles today on my ‘97 Mercury Tracer here in Germany (I probably own the only Mercury in the whole country, it seems like...). I have a ‘03 Saturn Ion at home that has around 33,000 miles on it. I drive a lot farther here than I did in the U.S. The local area in the U.S. was a radius of about 20 miles; here in Germany, that radius expands to about 100 miles. I drive at a rate of about 10,000 miles/year, while in the U.S., it was like 5,000 miles a year. And back home, I traveled about 22 miles roundtrip everyday to work and back. Here, I walk to work.

I think we’re around 108K on a 1989 GMC Suburban with a 454 engine. We’ve retired it as a daily driver now, though. just keeping it for towing and special trips. The ac needs rebuilding, but it seems to be fine otherwise.
