    good idea, but nope. i would have to drive at a constant 108MPH for all 168 hours of the week. but i sure like your enthusiasm. surely there are plenty of others on this site that have 300,000+ though.

    Re: Attention all 3G'ers w/ original motor and over 300K mi.

    Just emailing to let you know about my 86 Honda Accord. Im the second owner, but since new it has seen over 413,000 miles on the original engine and body. Since Ive had it its been through quite a few changes, and throughout its history all regular maintenance has been done. Since Ive had it I've been to all states surrounding Ga and it has not missed a lick. Still runs and drives like a dream. It is probably one of the best vehicles I own and definitely one of the most fun. I use it as my daily driver, and my mountain running car. With a little work, everyone would be surprised what this car can do in the twisties, and most of the time they are very surprised when they find out how many miles she has on her. If yall need any more info please feel free to email me. Im enclosing some pics of the car for your viewing. Also here is a pretty detailed build thread since Ive had the car:
    https://www.3geez.com/forum/showthread.php?t=62246

    Thanks for your interest in high mileage cars. Also if you need any higher resolution non watermarked pictures or any others at all please let me know. Thanks.


    Thats the email I just sent with pictures.

    I just dyno'd my 310,000 mile engine today. 97.1hp/125lb-ft bitches! Carbs FTW! Suck it A20A3!

    Also:
    If you have owned a car since it was new and have accumulated 300,000 miles or more
    I don't think any of us are old enough to have owned the car since it was new

    I was probably pretty close to that with my 2nd red coupe but i was not aware of the odometer fraud until after i junked it. But i was happy to hear about it in a sense because i had issues with that car. My first 89 Coupe i sold at 200k but i am sure their are a few around to put on the list.
