are you talking about how many miles are on the engine or the car?. My odometer broke at 202K miles around 15 years ago and i put 15-20 k per year so i'm guessing between 400 and 500k miles. I have my second engine in it right now.

How can you run up so many miles in Hawaii? I would think you'd just bounce back and forth to the beaches.
