I used to have an 86 Accord I got from my Dad. I got it with around 275,000km on it. What I didn't know, was that he was watching the odometer. When it was a couple hundred of clicks away, he took it out for a midnight last dirve and rolled the 300 mark.

The note on the dash was pretty funny: "Well I broke her in, but she just wanted one more ride with the Old Bull".

Those gauges actually look Honda, as far as the font and layout.

When I was working at a restaurant our crab-delivery guy came in and announced that his diesel F150 had hit 500,000 miles. And it had a giant locker for the crabs in the bed the entire time.

Still, 250K from a Lincoln is pretty damn impressive. I'll never get to take that picture in my car cause every odo they made that year went bust at 120K. I guess that was their way of telling you it was time for your second timing belt change...
