yes i am confused are people actually saying that it would be cheaper to have a VW to 930K than a honda? if so, that is really fucking dumb. ---

id drive it the same way he did until I hit 1,000,000. record the miles turning over to 1 mil. send the video to honda and maybe they would give me a S2000…if they didnt. i boost it on 30PSI and blow it up. record that and send it to Honda. “SEE WHAT HAPPENED WHEN YOU DONT COMPLY!” ---

lol my rents used to have a friend with an old dodge van (70’s era) and had something like 600,000 miles on it :eek: As long as it’s maintained right, most anything can go forever a few GM work trucks at vocational (back in HS) had damn close to that aswell ---

i dont think i could sell something that i spent so much time in and is in such good shape. i mean hes only looking to get just over 2 grand. a well maintained honda will last forever and pretty cheap to do so. timing belt and water pump every 100k is less then $100 in parts. ---
