Who's got the least mileage on the odo?

It's a bit slower today at work, so I figure I'd post this question for somewhat reverse bragging right. I see lots of cars with well-broken in mileage, but didn't see the other side of the coin.

'94 GXE with 85k miles.

(Purchased just over 10 years ago. I hope to keep it for another 85k miles. The car's never been out of comission, and I'm the original owner.)

Nope it was me....30,358 when i purchased it. September 2003. was closer to 32,000 once I got home. Pushin 36,500 now. but theres got to be someone somwhere..that croaked or somthin that probably has one mint with 5000 miles on it just sittin in a garage. I could only imagine how awsome that thing would be. I know theres a few people on here that bought there 3rd gen brand new.

but as far as i know me and Brad92SE still hold the record

1993 SE Auto Black with Black Leather- purchased with 96k or so? Crashed at 101k (8/3/02). No tick tick tick and a really really clean engine (which we swapped the engine/tranny into a 92 SE and sold)

1992 SE 5spd White with Black Leather- purchased with 126k, still running at 128,868. Purchased July 31st 2003, got running earily Augest 2003, dont drive it much, lol.

My Dad's 2000 SE 5spd, that light bloo color with grey leather, purchased 7/31/02 with 80k I think, now it has 89k or so? Actually that seems too low, my dad drives alot, so we had to have bought it with fewer miles.

My 1968 Mustang Coupe greenish blueish 289ci c4 v8 purchased 12/3/02 with 48k, now it has a whole ten more miles on it than it did when I bought it. But! Summer is here, so I might make it my daily driver, horray for traction WOOOWOOOO.

My sister bought my max with 136k miles. Then my father bought it and it had 180k miles. After one year of giving it to me it now has 228k miles. The only problem is that my tranny is going faster than the winter time in May.

I just got to 180k the other day. Purchased at 142k a little over a year ago. People before me didn't seem to abuse it, but almost every peice on it was original, including spark plug wires... which makes me think I should replace the oxygen sensors for the heck of it :P

Hell how many people can get their cars over 150k without the engine dying. How many maxima's (3rd gens) have been lost due to a blown engine? Most 3rd gens are lost to accidents. Funny huh?

I thought I'd win the 'low mileage' contest, but it looks like there's a few guys that have me beat. I've got almost 87K on my 91 GXE.

accident, his loss my gain. The car is showroom condition.

so if we took how many miles the car has and divided by how old the car is who would have the least?
