Forty years ago this June 30, the Beatles were completing their "Revolver" album. Mike Tyson was born in Brooklyn. Los Angeles Dodger Sandy Koufax was halfway through pitching his final and finest season. And Irv Gordon was in a neighborhood Volvo dealership purchasing a cherry red Volvo P1800 for $4,150, replacing a new car he had recently purchased from another manufacturer that broke down on his drive home from the dealership.

"It was far and away the best $4,150 I’ve ever spent," said Gordon, a Long Island native and resident who has since driven the car almost 2.5 million miles, a world record.

 

Gordon, who today is a 64-year-old retired science teacher, began racking up the miles almost immediately. He drove the car for the same reasons most people do: to drive back and forth to work (a 125-mile daily round-trip to his job), for fun and for everyday activities. His long commute and his passion for driving caused him to log his first 250,000 miles in less than five years. The engine never failed and the car never required extensive repairs. Gordon lived two blocks from the ocean and drove through salt and snow each winter, but the body never rusted. So he kept driving his car.

 

Gordon hit 500,000 miles in the late ’70s. He celebrated his one-millionth mile in 1987, driving a loop around the Tavern on the Green in New York’s Central Park. He retired nine years later and took a part-time job for five years as a quality control technician and service writer at a Volvo dealership. With more time on his hands, he made driving his pastime.

 

In the mid ’90s, The Guinness Book of World Records certified his Volvo for most miles driven by a single owner in a non-commercial vehicle. In March 2002 at a star-studded celebration fitting for New York, he turned his 2 millionth mile driving through Times Square.

 

Gordon would drive to Cincinnati for coffee, to Denver for lunch, or to Montreal for dinner. He’d drive to Volvo dealerships and car clubs to meet other Volvo lovers. He drove to Mexico. He put his car on a barge and sent it to Europe. He drove to Holland. He drove to Germany. While in Sweden, he drove to Volvo’s headquarters to see where his P1800 was born.

 

He drove through big cities at night and spent afternoons in small town coffee shops. He made friends throughout the nation. He became an icon for resiliency and passion for the road. He met Matt Lauer. He hung out with Jon Stewart. He talked cars with Jay Leno.

[billay]

115k on the "02 Jetta, Just did the 100k work-up, she's running great.

['canes2004]

My '03 Chevy ZR-5 4X4 has about 105,000. Still runs great. Little bit of an oil leak and a few rust spots but otherwise, a great beach truck. I plan on driving that thing into the ground. I love NOT having a truck payment.

 

Wifey's '04 Mazda has about 103,000 on it. For a while she worked for a company out of town so the miles ran up pretty quickly. Gonna have to replace that one by next year Im afraid.

[rocknrobn26]

2001 Subie Outback, just turned 35K.

[ljbrun]

2000 Outback - a little over 200k - I've put some $$ into it to maintain it, but overall it's served me well for commuting, camping, skiing, paddling, golf etc.
