Who knows.. Some have gone to 500K from what I've heard. IMO, run it till it dies, or just right before..

Yeah! People that have to have a brand new vehicle are sick individuals, more money than brains! If they pass a communistic law stating that a rusted vehicle be removed from the road, I'll have to move to a different county!
There is a point though, I've seen cars driving down the road that are rusted to the point that they are unsafe.

This is called hydro locking an engine & it usually weakens the connecting rods, I would give it less then a month before a connecting rod lets loss.
