“Three million miles by my 73nd birthday sounds right,” Gordon said. “But, whether I reach that mark is more up to me than it is the car. The car’s parts have long proven they can take it, but I’m not so sure about my own. Either way, it will be a fantastic testament to the engineering genius of Volvo as well as to the resiliency of folks my age.

And After?
Gordon is unsure what to do with his Volvo after three million miles. He has considered selling it or parking it in a museum. “Now I think, ‘no way.’ I’ll either keep driving it or sell it for $3 million”, that’s one dollar per each mile he’s driven!

In the mean time he shares his experiences and get suggestions twitting on Internet at http://twitter.com/miln2miler!

Happy birthday Irv!
