Just hit 500k miles on my 94 F-150 and people think I'm lying

Everyone in my shop keeps saying these old trucks are done at 200k, but mine rolled past 500,000 on the odometer last Tuesday outside of Houston. Original engine and trans with just basic maintenance, no rebuilds. Has anyone else had a vehicle go way past what people say is the max lifespan?

My neighbor's cat rode 300 miles under his hood before we found it.

That cat must have been half frozen to death or something because no way it just sat there for 300 miles. @jamie804, your neighbor seriously lucked out that the cat didn't get shredded by the fan belt or fall out on the highway. I've seen this happen before where cats crawl up into engine bays for warmth in winter and then get stuck when someone starts driving. The real question is how nobody heard meowing or thumping the whole trip. Your neighbor probably thought their car was making weird noises but just ignored it like people do. That cat has got to have the strongest survival instincts ever to make it that far.

Three hundred miles? That's insane.
