Hit a new milestone on the ol' 3g tonight

[Jareds 89 LX-i]

Finally, she rolled over 400k tonight!! Seemed like it took forever, I guess cuz I haven't driven the car much over the last 5 years or so. It turned 300k way back on 9-12-02

Here's my original 300k thread from way back, lol (pics are gone though)

Other than a head gasket back in 2001 at 271k, it's all original engine and transmission.... never a single rebuild on either. On it's 2nd clutch, original factory clutch broke a spring in the disc back in 2003 at 321k. Power everything and it all works great, heat and A/C included (although I did have to replace the compressor back in 2003). Still runs and drives like you wouldn't believe.... smoooooth as glass, and idles so smooth and quiet you can barely even tell it's running sometimes. Been driving it for 10 years now and it's never once let me down... ever! Absolutely rock solid reliable! Sure can't complain for a car I got for free, LOL

Still starts right up immediately on the first crank, every single time regardless of temp or weather!

She's towed waaaaaaay more than just the above, that's just the only ones I've got pictures of. Definitely a wee bit overloaded a few times, hahah. Always pulled everything I've put behind her though!

Anyways, just wanted to share.... as much as I love my bike and seem to neglect my cage, I still love it too! Hondas FTMFW!!

Hey man, your coming to the meet in raleigh in may right? Bike or 3g, you better come!

I was planning on it :D Not sure if I'll be on the bike or in the car, but I'm hoping to make it one way or another

I take it you're going too??

[AccordB20A]

sweet pics and congrats on the 400k miles

hahaha, Jared been with 3geez too long. Just hiding though.
Its a good thing he has stayed with Honda though.

The 400k milestone was way too easy! I wanna see that roll all the way to all "zeros".

That car never even hinted in breaking down when I had the experience with his car. Jared can attest to that mine and his car would in strange ways just fix little problems themselves. No matter electrical, water leaking from rust, or mechanical. That was their best feature. Should have put that in their new car brochure.

damn jared im glad that beast is still running congrats on the milestone!

[Edison Carasio]

This makes me wanna keep my Accord. :) Im constantly battling with wanting to give up on it. :( Congrats. Wish I could see it run with all those miles.

[DBMaster]

Man, still way out ahead of my measly 317K.

:)

Congrats :cheers: Here's to another 400,000 :cheers:
