Oh they are out there alright....and by gift I mean people that we all know who could care less about vehicle maintenance and still drive 300k+ trouble free miles. Call it a gift or just constant dumb luck.
Case in point: my dad has been the hardest working man I have ever known in my life. As a single parent he was never able to afford a brand new vehicle while raising my sister and I (not a vehicle even remotely new for that matter). Every vehicle my dad had when raising us looked like a movie prop from mad max and had at least 180k miles on the clock when he bought them and that's if the clock was still ticking when he bought it. He never...to this day...has had a major malfunction on anything. His current vehicle has only had a water pump replaced and a yoke on his front axle and close to 311k miles on his 99 Ram 1500. His oil does not get changed on time ever either lol
My best friend: every vehicle he has ever had in his possession has been treated like absolute garbage and he has driven them for well over 200k miles not including whatever miles were on it when he got it. He does not do any kind of maintenance. None. His money goes to marijuana and video games and nothing else. His 95 Chevy s10 would make a good story on unsolved mysteries because of how much it has endured yet still runs.Yet vehicle immortality is on his side.
It can be called jealousy, but it's genuine interest I promise lol how do people have this kind of luck?
