Driving anything for 500,000 miles is a feat – just ask some long-haul truckers.
But how about 500,000 miles in a tiny 2007 Honda Fit, an average of roughly 82,000 miles a year or more than 400 miles a day?
That’s what Dallas resident Lori Duewell says she has piled up as a courier in her Honda Fit.
The Midas service shop at 6629 Northwest Highway, where the Fit is said to have gotten all of its maintenance and repairs, will host a barbecue at the shop Saturday from noon to 2 p.m. to celebrate the milestone.
“I have been in the automotive field for over 35 years – 22 of them with Midas – and I can’t remember a time when I got to celebrate 500 K miles on a customer’s car,” said Wayne Earlston, manager of Midas shop.



Lori Duewell's 500,000-mile Fit

 

Awesome. Wonder if she's run into any issues, on original engine/tranny, etc.

 

That is AWESOME!!!

Hmm... guessing there have been a LOT of highway miles, and no less than 5 valve adjustments

 

Oh she was a courier, that's even more impressive that car's looking and running as well as it is.

 

I wanna know how many starters she's gone thru, and what her estimated MPG was over those 500K
if anyone could ask her that post it here!

 

Contact the Midas shop the article claims they did all the service. I think the barbecue was June 1st it would of been cool to had a bunch of Fit Freaks show up.

 

The first car I drove (can't say bought cuz it was really my parents who bought it for themselves) was a '79 Accord and she finally died at 528k... Even that was just the tranny, but that's before I knew how to work on cars what's amazing is the owner they purchased it from was the original owner and kept logs of everything. Everyone they gassed up and average MPG, repairs.. everything. The car only had a 5-digit odometer so one day I went through the log to determine how many times it rolled over lol. Love my Honda!
