its a 1990 accord and Million Mile Joe, yeah a few years back when he hit the 500,000 mark they wanted to take the car and he wouldn't let them. And he also works for honda, in some sort of way.
Proves that HONDA'S are awesome

it's a 1990 and the guy took amazing care of it. this should be noted in textbooks on how to maintain your car properly!

That shows testament to OLD honda motor build quality. I can't see this happening on any 2001+ motors. That's just my belief on the build quality of the engines of the mid 80's-2000 era.

Oh have faith with the new cars the motors are much more simple now from then. Less vacuum lines and sensors to fail. I believe with the right care and maintenance any Honda could and should last for ever.
