Saw Ahlem's 400,000 mile milestone and was reminded of mine hitting 600,000 km last week.
Anyhow, still rollin along. New upper and lower control arms are waiting installation in the garage.

Congrats, Dave!
Is that still the first engine? Or what major parts did you have to replace till now, besides the usual wear and tear stuff like control arms?
PS:
I just read in your signature:
Engine Rebuild Complete

At ~ 500,000 it had low compression in #5. Engine ran great, good mileage etc., but used more oil than I was comfortable with (especially under vacuum). I was excited to take on the project and wanted to keep the car indefinitely, so I purchased a used short block, had it honed and new rings/bearing installed. Since then, its run beautifully and should go to 1,000,000 ;)

Just don't live in Michigan. Weather is hard on your car.

Even after you leave. Have a bit to touch up now but it seems to have stopped progressing.
