Thanks for the story! I had an 89 just like that and if it wasn’t for the road salt I would have gotten more then 390,000. The body rusted too bad. I loved, loved, ((loved)) that car. My 99 is loaded which is nice and all but I miss that “go cart” feeling and the loose shifting of the 900’s. Pure glory!

2006 (late model year, we bought it September 2006) Honda CR/V. Just turned over 50,000.

Our other car is a 1998 Honda Civic with about 125,000 miles (we bought that in December 1998 so it’s 11.5 years old). We’re hoping to keep that for a couple more years. It’d be nice if it makes it to 200K!
