MEDFORD, Wis. — A Wisconsin man says his trusty pickup is on the verge of making history.
Frank Oresnik says his 1991 Chevy Silverado is about to pass the one million mile mark.
He says the truck is 1,200 miles (1,930 kilometres) from a million. He plans to retire the vehicle once it hits the milestone.
Oresnik credits proper maintenance and luck for allowing the truck to roll up so many miles.
He bought the Silverado in June 1996 after the original owner put 41,000 miles (66,000 kilometres) on it.
General Motors and Shell are said to be interested in examining the engine.

The chance of the destruction of our planet is very very small with this collider, but who are these people to decide what risks are acceptable for all of mankind? It puts me at unease and adds to my anxiety. CERN acknowledges that there are miniscule risks -- they admit to it so please spare the convoluted retorts.
