500,000 miles young today

[David]

Audis are not the only long lived cars in the world. I know we routinely see I5 Audis with hundreds of thousands of miles on them, so when my CHEVY rolled past 500,000, I thought I'd prove that even American cars with love & care can last a LONG time. Well, my 1978 Impala rolled past 500,000 miles late last night, so I figured I'd give the old girl a nice detailing as a present. She's been in the family since new (wife and I adoped her from my mother-in-law when we were poor college students). Looks pretty good for having a half-million miles, if I do say so myself. Pics are from earlier this year when she has ONLY about 498,000 on her.  =)
