    Wohoooo! 500,000 Miles!!

    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.

    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.
