What'd you do? Find a time portal to buy one with less than 40,000 miles or do you just not drive it? That's insanity. I have 272,xxx on mine.

I bought it last year with 33K It belonged to an old man in Texas. He bought it new and put 25k on it in the first two years then retired and barely drove it.

I'm stuck at 91k since last year. I bought an everyday driver so I could park the X and not have to worry about rust anymore. It still gets driven but only on nice days!

I've been driving this ****ing 93 Civic VX for the last few days... When we bought it a few weeks back I filled up the tank (a whole $23 dollars **fanfare**) and since then I've driven it about 10 days or so total and it is still sitting at like 9/10ths of a tank!!! It's insane, makes me wonder if I should ever drive the X again...


From the Civic Wiki page:

"The efficiency of the previous HF model was replaced by the VX hatchback which, with an EPA rating of 48/55 MPG, was Honda's most fuel efficient model sold at the time."

No civic for me! This is my $500 everyday driver! Another $500 has it looking the way it does. When it had the 2.73's it would knock down 27mpg on the hwy at 65. It now has 3.73's dual exhaust and a Jmod. Fun to drive.

Better than my DD which is currently blown up (dropped the N20 jets and thought I had the right size... Long story short, boom). 3.73's, 1:1 final and a 3000 stall lol. All 5 mpg freeway but I didn't care, it was so much fun. And yes, the truck stayed parked and I drove the car everywhere and every chance I got. I don't believe in squirreling things away in the garage for nice days and special occasions.

That sounds like a severe case of Ex neglect! I could not imagine leaving mine sit.

My 2002 V10 Excursion is almost at 141,000 miles, I got it in 2010 with 102,000 miles. In the last two years I've driven my new to me F-150 22,000 miles at an average of 12.5 MPG verses the 8.8 MPG of the Excursion, but that's not the reason why it's seen less miles. The F-150 is fast and has all the great creature comforts that a modern truck gives you and it spoiled me!


My dad's 1999 Explorer Limited V8 just rolled 42,000 miles!

The '72 Oldsmobile Delta 88 has 93,3xx orginal miles on it and the '69 Mercury Cougar has 78,4xx original miles on it...now that's low miles!

I'm sure living somewhere where winter beaters are a must for many months has something to do with your mileage counts

Come for a visit sometime, I'll show you what a fast truck really feels like. I walk my friend's intake, exhaust and tune 2014 5.0 F150 all day long. Only times he gets ahead are when I give him false hope and don't boost launch the pig Granted it doesn't have fancy features like your pamper-mobile does....
