When I was about 9 or so, my mother was shopping for a used car, at that time I believed that the more miles a vehicle had the further it would go. I found a car that had 60,000 miles on it and desperately tried convincing my mom to buy the car, when I explained to her that if she got the car with only 7,000 miles she wouldn't be able to go 60,000 miles unless she bought the car that had 60,000 miles she laughed and later explained to me the "truth behind car milage". :)
