You don’t see this everyday

My brother sent me this photo. It’s a testament to quality. I’ve always heard the stories but here’s proof. So as not to push his luck, however, when it hits 300K he’s going to get a new one (a car, that is, not an odometer). This is a Toyota. He and I had a 1970 Buick Skylark as our first car. It was handed to him by our father when he was in high school, then to me when he went to college. I finally sold it with 111K on it. Let me remind everyone that 1970 was not a banner year for automobile manufacturing quality in the U.S. I need to learn his secret about car care.
