150,000 miles is feasable in 1 year I would think. Now one time this guy told me he drove 975,000 miles in 3 months in his big rig and he expected me to believe that. He still to this day says he did it even though he would have had to average 451 mph the whole time driving 24 hours a day hahahahha, some people are just stupid but this guy seems like he may be honest about it.

Here's the long awaited video clip of the Yaris going from 149,999 to 150k. This video was taken while I was driving on the Florida Turnpike. If you listen carefully, you can hear the cars and trucks go by as I pull over onto the shoulder.

And I thought my 27,000 miles in one year was alot. Gives me great hope that my great car can last a long long time.

I use to deliver unprocessed checks for Bank of America from one processng center in Miami to another in Tampa from April 2006 - April 2007. Now I pickup specimen from several clinics all over south Florida for a labatory from April 2007 to present day. In case you guys are wondering, the $$$ is well worth it. And the $$$ I saved on gas on a monthly basis by using this Yaris, I actually saved $$$ by buying this Yaris. I get anywhere from 40mpg@80mph to 50mpg@70mph highway driving. I do very little city driving. I use to spend $1600/monthly on gas using a 2000 Mazda Protege that I still have with 400,000 miles on it and never touched the engine except for maintenence reasons. With the Yaris I put $1200/montly. That's $400 savings on gas which is the same as a montly car payment.

Nope, I use to drive 550 miles in 7 hours in one night from Miami to Tampa and back. Now I drive 550 miles a from Fort Lauderdale to Jupiter and back twice and then from Fort Lauderdale to Naples once. Now I drive from 9am - 11pm/6 days a week with a 2.5 hour lunch break.

I actually have a friend who drives a tractor trailer across the USA and he got a brand new truck in May 2006. When I bought my Yaris in August 2006, he had 44,000 miles on his truck already. When I hit my 1yr anniversary on August 2007, I had 152,000 on my yaris and my friend had 161,000 miles on his tractor trailer. I closed in a gap from 44,000 miles to 9,000 miles in 1yr without leaving the state of Florida, whilst my friend was driving across the whole country. Now isn't that a great accomplishment?

Oh, and for those who still doubt me, I have proof of purchase for cases of oil filters, spark plugs and proof of my work with date and time stamps. And I also have my IRS tax return proof where I claimed mileage for my whole year's income.

either you've wasted a lot of time faking proof... or, you've got a TON of miles on your yaris ... either way... welcome to YW... i suspect people were skeptical because your first post was (on the surface) unbelievable...

please keep us updated on mileage, and work done on your car... a lot of us hope to drive the wheels of our yari ... you will make for an excellent benchmark...
