Wisconsin man’s dependable pickup hits incredible milestone
(Shawano Leader, Sunday, February 10, 2008)
GRESHAM, Wis. - Frank Oresnik's trusty pickup truck — he calls it "the old girl" — passed the 1 million-mile mark with a camera crew filming the event and a public-radio audience listening in. "I can't tell you how much fun it was," he said. "It was really humbling, all this interest."
Dr. Evil would approve.

[Ed. note: So, technically, since most odometers only go to 100,000 miles before flipping, then his odometer actually read zero, right?]
You're right about some older cars, but the newer vehicles show 6 figures. My '86 Sentra would have flipped at 1,000,000. It had 278,000 miles on it when the engine needed replacing (which I did not do).
