Tell me what you think. I made a video also, but it's a little bit shakey.

I never dreamed the car would last this long. Especially because of the way it's been treated.
Thanks to everyone who has shared their knowledge of 3Gs. I have spent much time using the search feature to gain important info to keep my car on the road.
This forum offers a wealth of technical info as well as entertainment.
I am very happy.
Matt.

Yea, the temp guage broke about 200,000 miles ago. I was scared at first, but I learned to ignore it.

I replaced every part of the cooling system to be sure.

So are you going to keep going to a million? This is a good candidate to see how many miles will it take to kill a Honda.

I haven't decided yet. The car needs A LOT of work and I just can't commit to a decision.

I would just do the work it needs in order for it to be a safe car to drive.

you're ignoring the "million k 3g," right? because that's over 600,000 miles to get to a million kilometers. but of course, that's km, not miles. :)

cool, congrats on the big 500,000miles :D i also saw these 3 vids on the youtube side bar http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BSWUixb6NiU

i wish i coulda easily go and put 800,000 k's on my 3gee to have a million k

and yeah the mk3g is one of my favourites :)

I watched those videos a couple of days ago and knew the car immediatly just like everyone else here. I love how many 3Gs are reaching this milestone together.
I believe that the mk3g is an inspiration to many of us (myself included).
In regards to my 3G, I have put over 452,000 of the miles myself over the past 15 years and I don't think I have the stamina to go to a million.
I am perfectly happy with 2nd place (if any one was counting).

Here is a pretty cool link. I'm sure many of us already know about this site.

Thanks for stopping by and giving the Moon and Back Chronicles a watch. More to come.
And congrats on getting there and capturing the moment, very cool.

That was your 3G?

Yes it is. I'll be passing the 493,000 marker in the next few days so I should have volume 4 up by early next week. You'll be treated to the latest smog test results, and a funny way of showing off the first look at the exterior.

I'm glad too. Now someone can continue the legacy. My car is being sold for scrap......too unsafe, even to give away.
