Drive 350,000 km with a single car

The car in question is a 2000 Volkswagen Santana 1.8l, fueled by natural gas since ~20,000 km

Not bad. Not bad at all.

That's awesome. +1 for the Xbox reference.

Fun fact: Texans teach their schoolchildren that Santana was found trying to avoid capture in women's clothes.

Other fun fact: Texans are kind of known for hyperbole.

Love it. Good job. I am about to roll over 200,000 in my car, but I bought it with 90,000.

We bought it with something like 70,000 km, but it's impressive how well it runs with 350 k km!

Haha, actually yes! It's delicious to drive! She responds immediately and vigorously to pedal presses, haul 5 with comfort and carry a lot of stuff at the same time!

Fun fact: The Brazilian Santana was named as a homage to saint Ann, or Santa Ana, or yet Sant'Ana ;)

I'm guessing that's nearly 100% of all Santanas. See also: Santander, Santistevan, Santiago, Santangelo, et al.
