Mine has to be the 2000 Accord I beat the shite out of throughout high school and college. Delivered pizza in it and made countless trips between Memphis and Knoxville. Easily got 30MPG combined. Put over 100K on it and the only issue I ever had with it was a failed fuel pump relay. Sadly sold her at 250K with the original clutch.

66 Ford Pickup. Thing was old as shite to drive to school but my grandfather took really good care of it. I still have it and drive it around when the weather is nice.

I put almost 200k on an 04 Yukon and it was incredibly reliable other than the typical GM lights burning out

2004 Chevy Silverado. Sold it with 165k on it. Other that routine maintenance and a new set of catalytic converters she never went to the shop.

Sold it to a high school kid and the engine purred the same as the day I drove her off the lot.

Your mom has been the most reliable ride I've ever had.

1986 Ford Taurus. I never had a problem with the drivetrain, but the AC, speedometer, and the gas gauge didn't work, so I had to religiously keep the trip odometer to know when to get gas, roll everywhere with the windows down, and just make sure to move with the flow of traffic, and I was fine.

It got flooded out, so I sold it to a junkyard for something like 35 bucks, but before they came to get it, I fired it up and it ran after being flooded. Blew some water out of the tailpipe and was working fine, at least for the time being.

That car was an absolute piece of shite, but I NEVER had to worry about whether or not it was going to leave me stranded somewhere.

2008 Silverado I traded in on Black Friday.

I got it new and put 257,000 miles and I did very little outside of routine maintenance. Replaced a wheel hub and a couple headlights. Other than that I didn't have any issues. Still ran well when I traded it too. That truck saw some shite

fully loaded. leather, digital dash, the works.
lasted a long damn time.

best was my ‘87 Nissan Hardbody.
i was at least the 4th owner of it.
that lil 4 cylinder worked its arse off too.
was still running like a champ when I “upgraded” to a ‘99 Ranger.
