"Million Mile Joe's Surprise Parade"

Getting to a million miles isn't typical. But neither is Joe. See his remarkable story:

Joe just reached one million miles in his 1990 Honda Accord! To celebrate this extraordinary feat, we surprised Joe with an over-the-top parade in his honor. Watch what happened. Way to go, Million Mile Joe!

Driving a Honda for a million miles is an extraordinary feat. So how did Joe do it? For starters, he's read and followed his owner's manual and maintenance schedule to the letter. He's also a stickler for fluids, he checked them weekly, switched them seasonally (10W-30 in summer and 5W-30 in winter), and changed them every 5,000 miles. He's been loyal to the same brand of oil and never let it go below a quart low.

You know how most people let their fuel go to almost empty? Joe never did. He's also a creature of habit, using only Honda air, oil and fuel filters. Joe never rode heavy on the brakes, and changed the fluid every few years. He's also replaced the fuel pump, both cooling fans and the radiator twice.

Besides his fastidious maintenance, Joe's Accord made it to one million miles because he's loved it. He's treated it with respect and always drove it responsibly. In fact, Joe has only gotten one speeding ticket in a million miles-that must be some kind of record. When it comes to driving, Joe's the man.

the sad part is hondas are reliable.. we know that but those 90-93 accords seem to be magic.. I know of 5 off the top of my head with 300k-500kmiles on them.. they seem to be way more relaible than the new ones.. I know I can be proved wrong.. but it seems you cant kill the old ones..

29 people had their POS cars die on them at under 50K miles because they don't know how to maintain them

That's sad but the new Accord will probably never reach a million miles, today's car aren't build to last...

الملفت للإنتباه الأسفلت عندهم

لعن الله بلدياتنا الحراميه

ونقول نبغى نتقدم

محال محال محال

طالما الحراميه يسرحون ويمرحون بين أظهرنا

كان للعرب تواجد هنا

God damn our municipalities thieves

my 97 honda civic dx over 200k automatic which make more stress on engine and transmission then manual...and beat the shit out of the engine yet still running great..many times i thought it will die on me do to heavily beat down. but in the end it prove me wrong.. only thing u need is to do maintenance properly and it will last very long, ur whole life time. but dont like the new models of honda accord and civic..

Japanese is the best quality. Not only their cars, but everything. We have a microwave from 1987 made in Japan. We still have it. We changed the plug one time, that was it.
