towards the end of the story, it says that both GM and Shell were talking about buying it from him. would i sell it if i owned it? sure, and a shiny new truck in the bargain as well. heck the advertisment dollars alone would be a drop in the bucket for either corporation.....

A true testament to regular oil changes.

Half of Yellows fleet has over a million miles on their Volvo's.

I didn't catch if it was gas or deisel, I have never heard of any vehicle (gas) getting over 300,000 miles and the ones I have heard of were foreign vehicles, thats awesome that a US made truck did this, I have a renewed hope for my Dodge!!!!
