Car reaches 999,999 Km—dealer amazed! Owner demands custom odometer after stopping

On July 30, 2024, Ghosh was only 100 kilometers short of achieving his target. Eager to celebrate this milestone, he embarked on a drive to the Peace Bridge near the U.S. border. Unfortunately, as he approached his goal, the odometer reached its maximum display of 999,999 kilometers and could not continue recording.

Ghosh’s frustration led him to contact his local Honda dealership, seeking a customized seven-digit odometer that could accommodate further mileage. Shamiel Becharbhai, the director of the Honda dealership in St. Catharines, was astonished by Ghosh’s achievement, noting that he had never seen a vehicle with such extensive mileage in his 20 years in the business.

Honda Canada has acknowledged Ghosh’s unique accomplishment. A spokesperson from the company, Ken Chiu, described it as a remarkable record and expressed support for Ghosh’s request. The company is now working to address the issue and provide a solution that will allow Ghosh to continue documenting his driving achievements.

This story highlights not just an impressive automotive milestone but also the dedication of an individual to his passion. As Ghosh awaits a resolution, his journey stands as a testament to both his love for driving and the practical challenges that come with extraordinary achievements.
