My current ride is a 1978 Mercedes Benz 450 SEL with 170,000 mi.
My equipment hauler for the band is a 1989 Chevy van conversion with 180,000 mi.
The record holder for total miles of the 30+ cars I've owned so far is a 1986 Ford Escort GT with 340,000 mi on the original motor. I bought it at 180,000 mi from a friend of mine who was the original owner. The car was always 100% reliable and got 33 mpg up to the day I sold it for $800. I miss it.

1998 Subaru Forester, topping out at 180,000 miles (and some change, but I don't remember off the top of my head)
Ultra reliable still, though I could do with a little better gas milage

My current car - 2007 Mustang Premium V6 Coupe, 9,500 miles.
I used to own a 1987 Dodge Ram 50 that I put close to 280,000 miles on. I gave it to a friend who fixed it up for someone who couldn't afford to buy a car. You cannot get by on the Big Island without a private vehicle (or access to someone with a vehicle). They are just setting up bus stops for the handful of busses that the county has.

The ol Lemon Camry!
I haven't got a car yet, not old enough to drive by myself
Oh well, only 4 months to go!
1998 Honda CRV at roughly 185000 miles. I won't talk about how great it is running in the hopes of avoiding a jinx...
'95 Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera SL, 121,000km (you do the math, I don't know miles. I'm Canadian.)
1970 VW Bug, orange coloured. 79000 km on it now, but since the meter flipps at 100 000 km, ain't no tellin' how many miles that car has done. I also have a Volvo 940, 2.0 litre turbocharged engine, does about 200 bhp, 1996/97, which has done a little over 250 000 km.
1997 Proton Personna 1.6 XLi, 67,000 miles...
plan to run that one into the ground... unless I see a great deal on a Diesel estate with 4WD
