Wouldn't you feel a sense of pride for achieving 500,000 miles in 4-5 years and still be going strong in a car?

Huh? I didn't say anything about switching out the engine. Unless I misread a previous post, Trini said that one of the dealerships was willing to swap his old Yaris and give him a new one in its place. Sound like an awsome deal to me, especially when it's a work car.

But, it would be cool to see a Yaris with 1/2 million miles on it do a top speed run (in a controlled race track and hopefully with sponsors footing the bill).
