194k miles, but I got nothing on this guy with 3,260,257 miles:

My current car is under 15k. I got it new in 2020 because I thought I would have to commute forever. Fate smiled on me and now I walk or take public transportation most places. It's weird having something that's been essential my whole life become more of a cost than a benefit. It would have bene way cheaper to use a mixture of rental cars and ride shares if I could have seen the future. As it is, it's paid off, fuel efficient, and cheap to maintain. I'll keep it, but it's probably my last car.
