500,000 Mile Honda -Moon and Back Chronicles, vol.4

[rsolorio]

Well I guess you'll have to keep watching to find out. %D

[sega88100]

did the car reach the 500,000 mile mark?

[complexkitty]

Love the Young Frankenstein clip! Great play on the words there. LOL! Great video journal, too! I found your story on the Honda Mile Makers site. I hope to make it to the moon and back with the '09 Civic LX that I just bought. It's already got over 26,000 miles on it, so some of the work has been done for me. It is my very first Honda, and I don't think it will be my last. Thanks for the mile-making inspiration. :)

btw a ford crown victoria somewhere on youtube made it to 1 million miles. But anyway a very good milestone for any car.

[macdaddy1600]

i have a honda 1997 accord  190.000 k

[rsolorio]

See the repost yo

I Want audio D:

[mustang633NY]

and i thought that only American trucks, SUVs and full sized rear wheel drive cars could do that kind of distance... not bad at all for an economy car! Ive only seen a few small cars go past 250k miles and they were all chrysler K-cars (or k- based)

[eljison]

Damn, Warner Music Group stripped the audio because, apparently, the song on the radio was theirs. What a bunch of punks. As if this video is going to be used to pirate the soundtrack. putzes!

[Kuessemir]

no audio...:-(

[GatesJJ1]

I was just looking at clips from Young Frankenstein and Airplane. I was reminded of blue car (whinny). lol

[GatesJJ1]

Rofl!!!!! Oh man, "Blue Car" that made my day.

[rsolorio]

Whinny!!!!

[grahamckennedy]

Great stuff !! We are rooting for you over here in Irealnd !

[rsolorio]

That's fantastic. I figure I drove to Ireland and back almost 100 times, so I appreciate the support.

[police360]

is your car a manuel or atomatic?

[rsolorio]

Manual all the way baby. I've changed the clutch pads three times, but the tranny is solid.

[kwg2005]

do you change the trans fluid on a regular basis?

[rsolorio]

It's a manual tranny, I've just done the basic maintenance. Not even sure when the last time I had it serviced.

[dougwalk]

This is very good. I'm giddy with anticipation over the next installments.

[rsolorio]

Breath deep Mr. Doug. I'm working on the next installment and should have it up by Monday afternoon.

[lybr25]

Very nice!

We owned a 86' Accord EX-i (fuel injection), then we sold it to our friend. He drove it to 530,000 kms (310,000 miles).

Are you on your original transmission and engine?

[rsolorio]

Fantastic. Mine is a base line model, but the dealer talked us into the undercoating. I think that's where the magic lies. As far as the tranny and engine... full disclosure, Yes on the transmision. No on the engine. I blew a radiator hose while commuting and cooked the engine. That was at 410,000 miles.

[adamgalas3]

Roy, have you considered keeping the Honda a bit longer? The redesigned 2009 Honda Accord will offer a diesel that gets 52 mpg! Since Diesel engines last forever, a Honda diesel will go 1,000,000 miles! Moon and Back 2X over!

[rsolorio]

Well if it took 21 years to go 500,000 miles and the new ones come out in 09 that would mean that in order to make it to a million I'd be over ninety years old. Interesting. Ok your on!

[apenney01]

Good luck for the 500k mate. I was proud of my 100k effort - but now i realise that that is only the beginning of the challenge. Hope you will christen the 500k moment?!

[rsolorio]

I'm all over it. Commited to this project. So thanks for watching and we'll see you back for future rides.

[dnask8ter]

cool stuff. i'm at about 135 thousand on my 94 accord.... not quite close to the 500 you're pushing. i'm rooting for you. hondas last forever!

[Redchile80]

If you drive 88 mph, do you get the cool flashing sparks and worm holes in time? We loved it!!

David & Cindy

[rsolorio]

I don' t know but I'm willing to find out. Watch the next one coming out probably by the 9th for my scientific test.

Roy

[1ajs]

lol

looking good for 500k keep her going my friend 1ajs

[tlwalker100]

Didn't realize this would post like that....probably shouldn't have signed my name....oh well. That's what happens when you don't know what you're doing! Haha!

[rsolorio]

Everyone, please disregard the original post from Mrs. Terry Walker. Thank you

Roy

[tlwalker100]

Roy--

Hasn't anyone ever told you you're not supposed to go 80 mph when you drive? You are setting such a bad example to everyone who watches your video!! Just kidding! I just noticed it in the first video, and I see you're still doing it. I'm enjoying these!

Love ya!

Terry Walker

[rsolorio]

Well Mrs. Walker, I'll just have to do a video about it now won't I. I could drive over and do an interview it you like. Ha ha. I know I'll put a disclamer at the begining of the next ones that a professional driver is at the wheel, or this was shot on a closed course. Yeah, that's the ticket.
