Oddly enough, I've been giving rides to a co-worker whose 1990 Ford Festiva is finally giving him problems. The odometer broke 5 years ago with 254,000 miles, and he estimates it's up to 350,000 by now. It's on the original engine and transmission. Even a POS will last a long time if you maintain it.
