Can you beat his record?

American Irv Gordon has just turned 70, but isn’t sitting at home. Instead he drives his 1966 Volvo P1800S as much as he can to reach his goal: Three million miles by the time he reaches his 73nd birthday! When Gordon, a retired science teacher from East Patchogue, N.Y., purchased his Volvo in June 1966 he immediately fell in love with it, driving 1,500 miles in the first 48 hours. With a 125-mile round-trip daily commute, a fanatical dedication to vehicle maintenance and a passion for driving, Gordon logged 500,000 miles in 10 years. The Volvo’s odometer now stands at 2.8 million miles and with every time he drives, Gordon has his mind set at obtaining a record that will be very hard to beat.
