Time to brush up on your math skills.

In another 50K miles you'll be half way there. Another 143K or so and you'll be 2/3 there.

my parents had a '79 Volvo wagon (I think it was a 240 or its predecessor)......when they got rid of it in the early-90s it had close to 700,000 miles.

That is impressive. I remember your post from a few years ago and it was around 400k I think. My question is where do you commute to that would have you drive so many miles?
