Explanation:
Zillion като понятие за неопределено голям брой от нещо си.

Макар че, като се позамисля, zillion се асоциира с числа над милион, което за километри не е много удачно. Може би umpty е по-подходящо.

a vehicle with mileage inconsistency


Explanation:
;-)

What use of a car that has xK kilometers on the clock?

Explanation:
Ако схващам правилно, става дума за романтична връзка.

Проблемът не е в интерпретацията на „сумати (км)“, а в правилното пресъздаване на смисъла/звученето на въпроса:
- към кого е (приятел/ка, ФБ/форум, другата страна във връзката);
- изисква ли отговор или е риторичен;
- какво настроение носи (тревога, съмнение, скептицизъм, ирония, протест, упрек, отчаяние, примирение) и т.н.

Относно израза, който да се използва за разстоянието, бих се ориентирал по контекста (надявам се, че не е самостоятелно изречение). Но това не е толкова важно.

Примерно:

What (kind of) relationship am I supposed to have/be in from (halfway) across the globe/continent/country?

How would you expect me to maintain a relationship over such a distance?

Could I possibly have a relationship with someone who is zillions of kilometres/miles away?

Do you really think I could have a (normal) relationship over such a distance?

I should be darn/bloody stupid to hope I could have a relationship with him (being) across the ocean...

Etc.

Скоба: нямам опит с long-distance relationships, погледът ми е чисто теоретичен :)
