Ok, I know there`s tons of them out there!



Post pics of your old or high mileage cars that would normally be in so-so shape by this time.



I bet there`s some nice ones around :waxing: .

Not a hot rod by any means but when this picture was taken about a year ago,

I had owned it for almost 11 years and I`m sure it had at least 160,000 miles

(it now has 176,000+). It`s a daily driver and has sat outside 24x7 for about

the last 2 1/2 years. I take it to the ball field where there`s ton`s of sand and

my kids get in it with their cleets full of dirt and sand.



It`s the vehicle I brought both my babies home with from the hospital in and it

is now part of the family. I`ve had virtually no problems with it since I owned it

and plan to keep it til it dies or the air conditioning goes out. I don`t think I could

take a Columbia SC summer in a black vehicle and no air no matter how much

I love it.

`92 Accord EX.....ready for it? 215,xxx miles. I got it nearly two years ago, and it had been neglected up until then. I`m using it as my practice/learn-to-detail car, since I`m not too concerned about messing up the paint. Here are some pictures of it from a click & brag I just posted.

280,285 miles on my 1990 Honda Accord when I sold it. I believe the mileage was well over 250,000 when these pics were taken, around 200,000 when I took the engine shot.

Its amazing you guys get so much value for your dollar out of your cars. Keeping them clean does help a lot.
