Only in a Jeep. My 79 CJ went almost that much but rusted away sadly. One
reliable Jeep, miss her.

Not necessarily. I had an old S-10 4x4 with a 2.8l that did 350,000+
before I wrecked it and forced it into retirement. My '95 YJ just
turned 198,000 and my wife's '94 just turned over 200,000. All it
takes is a good maintenance schedule.
