Man�s Chevy 1,200 miles from million-mile mark 02/01/2008, 11:18 AM By Drew Johnson
While many argue that foreign cars are far more reliable than domestic automobiles, here�s at least one case for the Big 3. Frank Oresnik of Medford, Wisconsin is on the verge of crossing the million-mile mark in his 1991 Chevrolet Silverado pickup truck.
Mr. Oresnik bought his truck used in 1996 with 41,000 miles on the clock, but has since racked up an average of 85,000 miles a year delivering seafood in three states and is just 1,2000 miles short of the milestone.
