Show Mileage No Longer True Test of Car's Endurance Mileage no longer Is a true test of a car's endurance, and probably It never was. To say that one car Is more deserving of recognition because It gave ,10.000 miles more of service than another may be sheer nonsense. Long ago, Intelligent persons came to appreciate that the service of cars Is better determined by what they have done rather than the number of years they have been In use and the number num-ber of miles they have traveled. It would be interesting to know how many times the gears of a car are shifted during Its life, how often Its engine Is cranked, how many times Its brakes are applied and how often It is washed. There are some cars that actually suffer from too much tinkering by their owners or chauffeurs. |
