    GM did that a year or so back with one of their pickups. Levi's bought a pair of jeans from the 19th century off of a farmer that found a pair of their jeans out on his ranch. Any time someone makes big headlines in a big way by proving that their product lasts a long time and is built really well, the company is more than happy to trade out for that kind of publicity. The companies say that they want to find out what made that particular product special, what made it last so long.
    These are the instances I've read about. Toyota sends out a newsletter to customers with vehicles that have reached staggering mileage on their cars as well, usually one of their Jason like pickups that has been on a farm for the past 25 years.
    Some say that his politics are terrifying, and that he once punched a horse to the ground...

    Volvo does that all the time. For awhile they had high mileage badges you could get free on your car with proof of mileage. IE: accurate service documents etc. However, so many cars started racking up high miles, they stopped the program and simply started issuing stickers. I loved seeing the puzzled looks on peoples faces at the track on volvo meets when you see a car with 300,000 mile badges turning 12 second times. That being said, 900,000+ miles is astonishing on that car.

    Really speaks not only volumes about honda quality, but the owner as well.
    My car is factory....



    Every single performance part and or modification it has was made in a factory somewhere.

    There is a family friend of ours that is sitting on 987,000 miles on her old volvo. I believe they replace the car after 1 million, but I'm not quite sure.
