HA! I knew you would all be speechless! its really quite the accomplishment. And when you add up all the vehicles we previously owned, my father has driven over a million kilometers since I was born (1987). Too bad it absolutely destroys the resale value on every car we've ever owned. Thats why u gotta run em into the ground. :fadein:

That's a honda for ya.

I'm really surprised about the condition of your car. Our winters are terrible for the car body. Good luck hemi_fan for the million of km. :D

Damn, that's a nice round number isn't it! :D

Go Honda!

seven digit number :P

Bu t it's only km's... ;) Had that been 500,000 miles... then you would have impressed us.. ;) :lol:...


j/k - Thats more a testament to how well your family looks after their possesions than how well the car was made.

Well done guys.. :)

"only" km LOL! 500'000 km is already a mighty achievement, even if the Accord will easily accept another 500k ;)

holy shit man
500000km

I think a women driven a corolla to 1,000,000 ---> ie 000,000km in Canada, and the Toyota dealer she got it from gave her a brand new Corolla for her old one.

Wow, thats quite an achievement! My dad did some research, and the vehicle with the most mileage in the world is a Volvo. But the guy just keeps repairing it no matter what. The guy totalled his car, but he made sure they got it back to running condition to keep the record. The accord to my knowledge has had the following things done to it:

New steering rack
New driveshafts
ONE clutch (at 350,000km, and remember, new clutch has gone another 150,000 but I learned how to drive standard on that car, so needless to say, the clutch takes a beating)
ONE headlight bulb, believe it or not
Exhaust, not sure how many times...
new clutch master cylinder
AC conversion kit
batteries/oil/brakes twice/other reg. maintenance items
both the plastic things on the D/S and P/S doors broke (interior)
I think it also got some new bushings, not quite sure...
thats all I can think of now... I kno for a fact that the head gaskets are original, never taken off... and the tranny has never been touched. It also gets 40-41mpg (mostly highway) on average, so if ur lookin for a good reliable car... get a Honda
:lol:

Congrats Hemi 8) .... you guys must have taken real good care of the car

@ graywolf - i remeber reading about this volvo on numerous occasions, but can't seem to find much on the net about it :|

Guiness Book of World Records

:shock: achievement alright

Congrats on the Milestone!

Keep em' Coming!

Cheers!

lol .... kewl
don telme ya had the oddometer on camera point all the way from 4999999 to 5000000 .. :P :P

ma dad bought a car back in the late 80's .... its been wid us fer the past 16 years .... he just dosnt wanna sell it ... its sooo groosss that i am too ashamed to post pics of it .. lol... anywayz ... the good thing is we've tupped the whole oddo twice ... lol ....... quiet a milestone 8)

:shock: :shock: to c tat still its in good condition ..

Honda reliability proven yet again... 8) ...i suppose its driven daily (alot) then... :wink: ...oohh, keep us informed if it does actually shit itself (knock on wood... :lol: )

my 93 civic is hitting 300 000kms soon... and i tried very hard to pop up the milege.. i got most of it from travelling across canada, ummm a few times..

not much problems either.. changed a few belts, pads, tires.. but i think i have to do the shocks soon.. getting really stiff..

i have lots of catching up to do with your accord,,lol.. and yeh.. very reliable... good on gas.... can get ~650kms a tank on highway.. and ~450km in the city.. trannyy fine, no signs of grinds, yet..

thats amazing man, well it is a honda afterall!
almost 50 000km a year, nice!

DAMN! how many times did it breakdown on you? :lol:

Damn thats pretty good!
