Post anything you got (that still passes emissions and is licensed) that beats me out.

No pics....doesn't count (and no damn long haulers)

I'm driving a '93 F250 but I don't have anywhere near 300,000 miles on it. I was feeling good about 178,000.

Actually, I can't imagine doubling that mileage. That's a lot of time behind the wheel.

Here is a 1997 Z-71 I just bought recently... It has just over 200,000 miles on it but it is super tight and a close underneath inspection shows it to be devoid of rust and no signs of repair anywhere. It looks as good inside and under the hood as it does on the outside. Since we share mileage across 4 vehicles I think that this one will last us a good while.

Wow I love reading these success stories. Last month I purchased a 2000 Toyota Tundra with 108,000 miles on it. Prior owner had ignored required maintenance at 90,000. I have all caught up as well as a few other repairs. My wife can't understand why the truck is all I desire driving. She thinks we should be driving the 2010 Highlander that gets better mileage. Go figure. Its dark out so no picture. Hey its too new to be interesting anyhow. Jim

She's a gem! Looks well-kept.

I just sold a '96 Chevy S10 puckup that had a grand total of 51,000 miles on it. I just got a '12 Chevy Colorado. Had to replace the S10 because I had to switch to an automatic because the left leg isn't cooperating.

That is nice sir. Unfortunately, we have no documented evidence of the mileage or current emmissions/registration because you sold it. Therfore, you can not technically be awarded with the win.

I already won because not only did I use it heavily for many years but my friend gave me the truck for free (along with a tired old Olds station wagon which I scrapped out).

He thought that the transmission was going out of the truck and I took it expecting to replace the tranny. When we went to pick it up we (my son and I) found that all that was wrong was a bad leak in the oil line between the tranny and the radiator. We cut the lines and put a temp "U" turn loop in using a piece of rubber fuel line. When we got home my son pulled the lines from the old station wagon and installed them on the truck. Other than that we never touched the tranny and it pulled a "lot" of tractors and cars around on my 12,000# tandam trailer.
Some times you get lucky...
