When properly maintained, well-built cars can last an impressive amount of miles.

Consider this 2006 Honda Civic, which hit one million miles on its original engine and transmission. Amusingly, the car’s odometer maxes out at 999,999 miles.

While that case may be an extreme outlier, most modern cars are expected to last 200,000 miles before experiencing some significant failure. That’s roughly double the lifespan of cars from the 1960s and 1970s, which typically lasted about 100,000 miles.

In this infographic, Visual Capitalist's Marcus Ls and Athul Alexander used data from iSeeCars to determine which cars are the most likely to reach⁠— or even surpass⁠—the 200,000 mile benchmark.

To me, the owners and their maintenance of any vehicle, is the single most important factor in a vehicle's lifespan.

I came close to being in the car market a little bit ago. I was bored so I decided to go to the grocery again to get the stuff I forgot yesterday. Some fuckin' VaxZombie blew through a red light like it wasn't even there, just missed me. He was moving. It was the same damn intersection where Texting Woman got me in 2013.

I guess I'll breakdown and get a damn dashcam.

FWIW, my 2013 Tacoma just rolled over 10,400 miles today. I'm runnin' the wheels off it.

Why do EV lifespans appear so low?

Because they are. EVs suck hind tit.

I suppose they consider replacing the $40,000+ battery pack every few years "routine maintenance."

Wanna bet? I just did. (Edit) It was a long four miles.

(Edit 2) At least I got my shit squared away enough that I wasn't crying. I am now.

Typical week for the Pacman... Tomorrow I've gotta get a longhorn Pete and a pneumatic tanker from Lima O to FW.
