Showerthought: my odometer hit 300,000 miles on the dead Civic I paid $700 for

I bought a 1998 Civic with a blown head gasket for $700 in Tucson two years back, and last Monday the odometer rolled to 300,000 miles right as I pulled into my driveway. I sat there staring at it because the car was "dead" when I got it, and I had a buddy help me swap the head in his garage over one weekend. What's the highest mileage you've pushed a car you brought back from the grave?
