Anyway, for 10 years I kind of lived in both places and drove back and forth between them. I'd do it about twice a week, so the miles began to add up. We were also involved in local county political campaigns, so I had to drive wherever the campaign had to be.
And, of course, my wife Nina and I took the cat on vacations - to national parks, mostly. We went to Zion and Bryce Canyon, the Grand Canyon and Yosemite. We would just get in the car and drive. I guess I was the one who put most of the miles on it, but she enjoys it, too. Now I'm retired, and we sold the apple farm to a wonderful young couple - but we kept visitation rights! We moved to Utah - the most beautiful place on earth - and I'm doing some land development and building a business and industrial park here, so I'm really not slowing down.
I have 555,000 miles on my Lexus, and the way I see it, that's just the beginning.

I've never lived there.....Thats just an article from a magazine. Its in the Lexus owners club gallery. Its a response to Smooche because he asked about an article he saw about an ls w/ 550k miles.
