    I am truly amazed. Only 4 clutches, 9 timing belts and 9 water
    pumps. Just amazing.

    Our 1997 Civic EX with 85K miles has had two clutches but
    two teenagers learned how to drive on it (and one drove it
    over a curb at high speed about 7 years ago doing bad
    things to the engine / transmission alignment).

    Yeah, sure is.

    I've noticed that all these super-high mileage cars cover massive distances
    in just a few years (high annual mileage). This means they run for long
    periods withut shutdown, and thus have far fewer cold starts than most cars
    endure.

    Plus they're typically sedans and other vehicles with fairly high gearing,
    and have probably led a fairly easy life, with little full-throttle
    operation.

    Finally, most of them seem to be located outside the Rust Belt.
