I have 3 vehicles, a 2003 Ford F-150 with about 88K on it. Useful and reliable; a 2007 Chevy HHR with about 38K on it. With Michelin tires it tracks great and yes the ignition switch recall is on the radar; a 1999 Oldsmobile Bravada, with about 35K on it. Formerly our dog transport vehicle. Generally a piece of shit. GM rattles and V6 engine that gets about 13 mpg. Still it's paid for and with 4-wl awd it has proven it's worth in winter weather. cuz p

You saw my 2000 Honda Accord & it has over 226,000 miles on her, given to me by my best friend when my old Pontiac bit the dust with a thrown rod...as long as you change the timing belt every 100,000 miles give or take a few thousand these cars run forever...mine has the 3.0 V-tech V-6 and it hauls ass so much that I can make it spin at 60 miles an hour when I punch it further and still gets about 26 open road...so far...she rides nice, has a kickin stereo and a great a/c unit...for the summer months that is about all I can ask...I just put in 4 new HIGH DEF headlights as the old ones were the originals, and very dull...three of the lights went in without a hitch but the fourth was a BITCH...had to use a crowbar to get into the space, damn snorkel was in the way...Hope you enjoy your little Civic and have great luck with it...atleast the center console in this one is clean, FOR NOW...LOL, JD/ed

Nice backtracking, almost as good as driving backward. My twin brother wrote his AUTObiography a year ago. It's pretty good, but he has done nothing with it--so many pictures.

It looks like you made a good move. Why are you destroying your mounts at 120 grand? I got over 300,000 on my Monte Carlo. Those Hondas are tough, like Toyotas. My tenant has a 1992 Accord two door in my garage. 180,000 and still looking good and driving strong.
