Frank Oresnik has driven his 1991 Chevrolet Silverado past the 1 million mile mark reports the Shawano Leader.

Oresnick uses this perspective: He's had the oil changed more than 300 times. In fact, the oil's been changed so often, the oil pan drain plug has needed rethreading. Several times.

"You never hear of that," Oresnick said.

Most other people look at it this way: The odometer rolled past the 1 million mile mark on Friday.

That's right - 1,000,000 miles.

"I won't say it was relief ... it was exhilarating," Oresnick said Friday night during a stop in Gresham. "This truck has been so dependable over the years."

There's also stories about Oresnick and his reliable Chevy pickup at the Detroit Free Press, NPR and ESPN. They are also discussing this news on the Chevrolet Forum. Chevy may have to set up a new club just for Oresnik and any future 1 million milers. Hat tip On Deadline.
