Irving Gordon earned the Guinness World Record for the highest vehicle mileage on a personal car, with over 3,000,000 miles on his 1966 Volvo 1800S! Irving is estimated to have driven over 100,000 miles per year visiting car shows, with the longest stretch in one trip being New York to Vancouver, Canada. He has detailed the maintenance of his vehicle, saying that he changed the oil every 3,000 - 3,500 miles and changed the transmission fluid every 25,000 miles.

Did you know? The word “car” is derived from the Latin word ‘Carrum’ which means “two-wheeled Celtic war chariot.” It’s essentially a slang term for “Carriage”!

Sometimes, no matter how careful you are, disaster inevitably strikes—typically in the form of an accident. Make sure that your car will be repaired to the best possible standard by finding an insurer that will pay for parts from the original manufacturer and for repairs at the auto body shop of your choosing.

Driving can be fun and freeing – until you get stuck at a red light, that is. The National Association of City Transportation Officials says that the average time spent waiting at a red light is 75 seconds, accounting for approximately 20 percent of all driving time. The average person spends nearly six months of their life sitting at red lights. That’s a whole lot of time doing nothing!
