Congrats. I bought my DD civic in 2004. She just hit 240,000 miles. I'm hoping to hit that 250 mark.

Holy crap.

Not many owners out there that bought brand new and have gone that far. You definitely deserve some props.

I guess that depends on what you call Major. The clutch got replaced about 8000 Miles ago. Front wheel bearings were replaced in the hundreds. The timing belt tensioner worm gear got replaced. Other than that an oil change every 3000 miles she's running like a top.

That's pretty impressive Yves, and great to know that it can handle all the spirited driving miles you've put on it!
