Having 2.6 million miles (record-breaking), shiny red Volvo P1800 1966 owned by Irv Gordon, 67 year old, is now aiming for a near impossible milestone – to drive, in the same vehicle, three million miles.
`My goal is to reach three million miles in the next five years` Gordon said. `But, whether I reach that mark is more up to me than it is the car. The car`s parts may be able to take it, but I`m not so sure about my own`.
`I turn 72 on July 15, 2012` he added. `That seems like a nice day to clock three million and park the car once and for all. It will be a fantastic testament to the engineering genius of Volvo as well as to the resiliency of folks my age`.
`I`ll also feel comfortable that three million miles is a record that no one will ever be able to reach in the same car` Gordon continued. `That is, unless Barry Bonds decides to start driving his car more after he retires from baseball`.
