Oil change to happen this weekend, along with tire rotation. I'll give it a clean wash before it goes.

Good gosh, you drive much more than I do. My '06 just hit 31k. But then again, that car stayed in the garage for over a year when I got a company car. Now that I don't have one anymore, I start driving my Accord again and loving every minute of it!!!!

Ha Ha... you guys are going to freak out... I took delivery on this car in March of this year... I drive approximatley 100 miles (roundtrip) to/from work everyday, and sometimes out of town on weekends. Hence, the reason I made them (dealer) give me a great deal on the Honda (including ext warranty). I have a truck that I'll drive once I rebuild the transmission, but I love driving the AV6. No, I don't mind the high mileage, as this is one vehicle I KNOW will last 200K+ miles.

I have the same feeling towards my accord. Who cares...drive it! My spec I wanted to keep low mileage. Too many QR25's blowing up out of warranty!! I also beat the s**t out of that car and I am really nice to my accord

I'd have more miles on the 07 had I not had another vehicle. In any case, I've still racked up nearly 14,000 miles on it since April. I hit 30,000 miles on the 06 during the first year.

I've got nearly 14k on mine and bought it in April. 75 miles round trip to work 5 or 6 days a week and a couple 180 mile commutes to see the in-laws. It adds up quick.

did you drive cross country? how is that even possible? if you drive it cross-country from LA to DC, it would be 2300 miles and it'd take you 3 days.. of non stop driving.

jesus, how do you put 340k miles on a car! do you drive to the moon and back?

you know, making repairs on older cars might be worth it here in VA.. you could dodge vehicle property taxes.
