Talk about your hyperlocal news

The news blog of the Glendale News-Press and its sister papers has a story up about a local car reaching 500,000 miles — and it's the car driven by the husband of the managing editor of the La Cañada Flintridge paper. OK, that's really local, but kind of fun too. It's a 1980 Fiat Brava that the owner says he converted to a manual transmission in the early 1990s. He commutes in it 150 miles a day.
