Insane... Never know if he is the TRUE first, or just recorded one, but still, that is insane.

He has completed over 300 oil changes, which roughly is every 3,000 miles, so don't slack off!

Just thought id share.

he is defenitly not the only guy. My friends dads suburban just turned the clock over sometime last year. From what he tells me it was the second motor, but still to drive a single car 1 millon miles is impressive.
