When Toyota received notice that one of their vehicles was nearing the
million-mile mark (a "service vehicle" operated by a California business),
the woman in charge warned the owners NOT to allow the odometer to go all-
zeros. She said the owners should call her when it hit 999,999, and Toyota
would pick up the vehicle with a flatbed, wherever it was. And this they
did, with 999,999 showing on the odometer.

The business was given a new vehicle to replace the old, and the old is
supposedly now in the Toyota museum in Long Beach. That's what I read.
Anybody near Long Beach who wants to check that out?

And all I've got is 374,000 on the 'Teg. No free Honda for me. :^(

It certainly would be an assembleage of rust by that time...
