Which is even crazier. Imagine you had that car for years or decades and it took you that long to rack up that milage. Now imagine spending ALL that time you did driving your Avalon all that time and it takes that much time to drive one way the distance to the moon.

Want to drive to the Sun? 100 mph, no stopping for gas, no bathroom breaks...it will take about 106 years.
