1million mile accord (yes thats milllion)
Crazy stuff....
Man Puts 1 Million Miles On Accord In 10 Years
Car Was Free Because Of Longevity Of Previous Model
POSTED: 10:54 a.m. EST November 18, 2002
MARYSVILLE, Ohio -- Gordon Bearrs of Ottawa, Kan., figures he's spent $70,000 in gasoline, maintenance and repairs on his Honda Accord.
But he says it was still cheaper than buying a new one. He's got 1 million miles on the car -- and counting.
Bearss and his Accord were guests of honor Sunday at the 20th anniversary of a Honda assembly plant in Marysville. He was also at the plant a decade ago for the 10th anniversary and was given the car for free -- as a reward for putting 615,000 miles on his previous Accord.
The 48-year-old Kansan drives up to 750 miles a day for his job as a document courier.

Re: 1million mile accord (SOHCArchangel)
is this the greenish/blue 94-95 ex coupe 5-spd? b/c if it is, i saw the same car at hendrick honda(route 1 in woodbridge, va) and it also had over a million miles. the car looked in great shape too, the paint was almost like new. it was on display to improve their current car sales, i guess to show honda's great reliability.

Re: 1million mile accord (Chiovnidca)
We had a 4 year old Civic come through the shop with 665,000 miles a few years ago.
good lord, I can't even imagine that. Thats over 450 miles a day, EVERY day for 4 years. over 525 a day if the owner took weekends off.
I put about 700 a week on mine and I thought that was a lot.
