Volvo vs. Mercedes

I just wanted to throw out the clip I saw about the guy with the 1966 P1800 Volvo with 2.9 million miles on it. In the first decade he had it up to over 600K, and with the now 2.9 M it averages around 64,444 a year. He plans to have it over 3M in the next year or so. He wants to celebrate the 50 yr. anniversary. He claims he has always kept up the maintainence on it. I was just envisioning what it would have taken to get a 1966 Mercedes that far down the road and the costs? If it was dealer maintained from start to finish, how many zeroes would it add to the original price tag?? Just knowing the monies some people have spent, and not even seen 100K. They say it was like 6 round trips to the moon! Just to keep a car that long without getting totally worn out with it is appalling.
