A random thought occured while I was driving tonight.
The car I was in had way more miles than anything I've driven in the 10 years I've had a licence.
It got me thinking about a few other superlatives from my time as a driver.
I'd be interested to hear yours!
It could be your own car, borrowed, through work, anything really so long as you drove it...

Oldest car driven: '67 Chevy Chevelle
Newest car driven: 2-month old, 2013 Corolla rental car
Highest miler driven: '91 Honda Accord with 160k miles!
Largest car driven: Probably a Merc ML280
Smallest car driven: Another PHer's Smart Car
Most expensive car driven: '04 Ferrari 360 Spider

So, over to you; what would your answers be?
