I can say the same about all my American made cars.

1968 Ford Thunderbird.. 268K miles 15 years no major issues,
1978 Trans Am. 290K miles on had A/C issue
1978 Impala (moms car) 200K miles 1 tranny rebuild traded for
1994 Ford Taurus Wagon, 298K and mom still driving it.
1985 Ford Crown Victoria (dads car) I still have it (dad passed on in 2001), 377,000 miles on it, only issue is the vinyl roof dad put on has been replaced 3 times.
1989 Ford Escort, 121K traded for a
1993 Ford Probe, 164K traded for a
1996 Silverado, to date 439K miles, sold it to my neighbor he still drives it, had 1 engine rebuild
2000 Silverado Z71 traded @ 180K for
2005 Chrysler 300c 125K traded for
2010 Avalanche, 31K traded for
2012 Camaro, not because I had issues, because I wanted the Camaro and had no more need for a truck.


Also had a 2002 Impala LS in there same time I had the 2000 Z71.. gave that car to my best friend when he cracked the block on his 1989 Corolla and he needed a vehicle for his business (owns a mom and pop pizza place). He's still driving it, over 100K.

My neice just got herself a 2010 Malibu with 18K on it, so we shall see.

nope, I take the motorcycle..

I can't drive her car.. I have a titanium hip, femur and plates and screws in my pelvis from a bad motorcycle accident, and the seats in her car cause me horrible pain and discomfort, my motorcycle is a lot more comfortable.

I have been with Rain (my wife) for 10 years and only been in her car 3 times as a passenger.. When we go we take my car, and if she takes my car I use the bike...

BTW i'm an old fart if you had not figured that out..



but she won't take the Camaro.. she had no issue with the Truck, but the Camaro scares her, she drove it once, and wasn't expecting the whiplash effect.. she won't drive it, I have already been informed of that.

That's abit modest i'd say. But, you made your point form a bad accident..i guess it doesn't matter how many times you fall but, the important thing is to get back on again right?

Doesn't really look that different to me. But I never really studied the last accord. I have had a few Hondas before. I never had a problem with one. Real reliable cars

Ahh..it all make sense now. You got "run over" by a Honda. And the story continues..it all starting to make sense. now!!

So grumpy old man how old do you feel inside 30, 43, or 60?

Never.

Honda quality is going down the drain right behind Toyota. Cheap interior materials, shoddy workmanship, hell, the import lovefest that is Consumer Reports even bashed them.

It should matter how you feel..can't just please her. My advice learn to love yourself aswell. It's nice she feels younger with a grumpy man lol.
