504k? Damn, you have the new high score.
I'm approaching 300k with my 90s gasoline sedan. All the adults in my life try to convince me to get rid of it, but it's in decent shape, I can fix almost anything on it at home, and it's fully paid. I've only ever owned one car for around 20 years now and in that time most people I've known have gone through 3-5 cars. Their logic doesn't make sense to me, the only thing I'm missing out on is heated seats, improved safety, and the massive cost of payments/maintenance/repairs that they are saddled with.
I rarely drive, usually only in 25-35 mph areas, and get around mostly by bike, bus, or walking. I doubt I'll hit that 504k, as I drive < 2000 miles a year now, but that's my new target to beat. Not sure a gas car can hold up as long as a diesel though.
