I know someone who has been driving the same VW Beetle for fifty
years. Never a breakdown They call it preventive maintainance. He
overhauls the motor every 100k, before it really needs it. 65 one way
mile commute, God knows how many miles are on it. Probably a mil and a
half. All highway miles.

Probably does frequent oil changes. Those jugs are lucky to get 100k
mile without having substantial blowby.
