They find vehicles that have been well loved. This one takes a cake: A 1980 Toyota Hilux pickup with 1 million miles. 👀 The coolest part? All those miles are from one owner. That’s the equivalent of driving from New York City to Los Angles 360 times! I don’t even want to drive from California to Arizona
