Instead of Mile High, how about High Mile Club?

Since the advent of diesel technology and probably decades before, the diesel engine has outlasted gas engines as far as performance, reliability, and overall capability. Do you think inventing a Hall of Fame for all the high-mileage diesels in the video/movie or even just a picture thread be something? Believe me, I love hearing and seeing how performance parts for our diesel engines have knocked the socks off the stereotypical gas community, but what of the high-mileage diesel work horses(or performers) that have their odometers far beyond 200k? Or 300K? 400K? Maybe? It's incredible how a semi travels an average of over 400k miles a year! That's from New York to California and almost about halfway back a week! What about our members? I'm sure few travel such great distances, but there are definitely some that have some serious mileage on their clocks! We need to give respect where respect is due to the Power Stroke or Navistar owners who've taken care of their rigs for so long to actually see a 2, 3, or 4 as the 1st digit on their odo's. Do I have a legitimate gripe? I think it would be pretty cool! thanx!
