Default Highest Mileage Z

Just reading one of the other threads got me to wondering what is the highest mileage Z.

Currently I am only at a little below 21K miles and have only had the car about 3 weeks.

Whats your story?

Bought an '04 last October with 13.8K. I'm a bit embarrassed to say today it only has 15.1K.

I think I have too many toys. Just ask my wife.

I guess I don't qualify for this thread.

You guys are right there together as far as highest mileage so far. It will take me quite a while to get as many as you guys since I am not daily driving the Z this time.

Keep on driving!!

Yeah, but at least we have fun while we can drive them. They will only be worth something when all of us can't enjoy them
