Been seriously loving my car lately. In the past year since I got her, I've had the transmission replaced (much smoother now), got new tires (lots more grip), and eliminated almost all rattles (car feels much tighter). I find myself driving her a lot and doing a lot of joy rides with no specific purpose other than to experience the satisfaction of owning a nice car. Sometimes I think to myself that I shouldn't take her on needless trips and rack up the mileage the way that I am. My question to y'all is whether you think I should try to limit the miles I put on her, or just enjoy each and every mile and not worry about the odometer? I will say that I'm not thinking of trading her in anytime soon, so trade-in value isn't that important. What is more important to me is that the car might lose some of it's crispness as the odometer creeps up - is this a valid concern, and with proper maintenance how long can a car maintain that solid feeling? Thanks guys, and I understand that you're not getting paid to be psychiatrists...

 

A car is only a car if it is driven...

 

Why worry? Its a car and its ment to be driven. If you like driving the car, take advantage of it every chance You get.
Mine is nearing in on 200,000 miles and its just as quick and crisp as the day i bought it.

 

Wow, really? I know that you have a lot of mods though... With proper maintenance you think my car should be as crisp and solid at 125K as it is now at 74K?

 

I dont have many mods, yes the car will be just as good at 200+k. Its a honda. They are known for their great engines. quit worrying about it.

 

Typically how long do things like struts last? I know it varies, but at some point they need replacing, don't they?

 

Thats all part of the taking care of and maintance. I got like 180 something out of them. Typically like 100-140k.

 

Thanks, Kris..................And congrats on becoming a mod...

 

Drive it and enjoy it like i do!
