Woman claims she drove a million miles in 5 years, gets free car

So let's just do some simple math:

200k miles per year. 548 miles per day assuming she never took a single day off. 18 hours per day assuming 30 MPH avg speed. Anyone else find something fishy with this story?

Imagine driving 200,000 miles in a year. That's about 14 times more than the average American driver logs in a year, according to federal government statistics, and it adds up to almost 548 miles per day — if you literally drive every day. Now, imagine doing it for five straight years. Not behind the wheel of a semi truck, but a gray 2013 Hyundai Elantra. All on the original powertrain.

That's the story of Farrah Haines, of Olathe, Kan., who managed to log 1 million miles on her Elantra — inexplicably fitted with some kind of grille guard — from her job delivering auto parts and products. Her feat is the equivalent of driving from her home outside Kansas City to Milwaukee ... Every. Single. Day.

"I figured I love to drive, so I might as well turn it into a career," she says in a video Hyundai made about her.

Since the odometer would simply roll back to zero after hitting 999,999 miles, Hyundai replaced it and forged its first-ever 1 Million Mile Emblem to display in the instrument panel. It's now an official Hyundai part. Haines also got a commemorative license-plate frame announcing her membership in the 1 Million Mile Club.

But the bigger prize came later, when the automaker surprised her with a brand-new 2019 Elantra, this one in red.
