A few months ago, our analysts scoured the recent Annual Questionnaire data and found thousands of Consumer Reports subscribers had crossed 200,000-mile mark with their car. We further explored a story concept of advising on how to make a car last 200,000 miles by posting a short blog entry and inviting our online readers to share their high-mileage experiences and advice. The enthusiastic response proved we were on to something.

The October 2007 Consumer Reports cover story was fueled by the reader feedback. In fact, the article features three couples and their vehicles that we discovered through this research, as well as tips they provided to help others.

You, too, could have your vehicle and story featured at ConsumerReports.org, in the 200,000-mile Club photo gallery. This new area allows users to submit photos, as well as comment on images from other visitors. We hope this inspires more car owners to get the most from their current vehicle.

Share your tips and experiences in the 200,000-mile Club forum.
