I have friends who are commuting 150 miles round trip each day. About a
year ago I was driving 70 miles round trip to work. It has been years
since I have to change even a simple thing like an alternator. I have
never lost an engine nor been left stranded by a car not working.

Longest commute I did was 75 miles a day, for about 2 1/2 years.
That about 50k miles just for the commuting part.
Seems many Californians have long commutes, and maybe the same for
those in those big states where people live far from work.
Easy enough to put on big miles.
I've seen plenty of 3 year-old cars with +100k on the odo.
Seem to recall seeing some 2 year old cars with the same.
I've never been stranded by a Chevy, but I take care of my cars.
