My little Civic is 16 years old with 185,000 miles.
My goal is to get my Civic to last me at least that long. I don't put too many miles on it (only about 100/week on average), so even though I've had it 4 1/2 years, I only have 34,000 miles on it. In the past four months, I've had to put $1800 of repairs/new tires into it, but I'm hoping that'll be it for another four years.
I'm pretty much planning to keep mine until it needs a new timing belt assuming the rust doesn't get too bad.
I'm hoping I can put my car payments into savings and thus be able to have enough to pay cash for a replacement car by the time I'll need it. And maybe a downpayment for a house. As well as pay for the rest of my masters degree.
Shoot Spain scored. I'm pulling for the underdog Honduras since Espinoza plays for Kansas City.
It's $20K less than I started out with! I only have five more payments left, then the Civic will be mine all mine.
Wow. That is one expensive Civic!! Is it a hybrid?
Perkins, in case the info is still relevant, Leverage Season 3 is up at Amazon Video-on-Demand. $1.99 per episode.
Bradley Cooper speaking French, respectably well. [link] Mostly about subtitling versus dubbing, as far as I listened.

Unfortunately, no. It's a 2006 Civic ES, the top of the line non-hybrid, with all the bells-and-whistles (other than the built-in GPS/satellite radio). I really wanted a mid-line one, but the dealer didn't have any available and I needed a car immediately. I learned my lesson--don't go car shopping when you have to buy a car right then. The only good thing I did was walk into the dealership with a financing offer from Lending Tree, which I was able to get Honda to match (saved me 2% interest and got them to knock $2K off the car's price).
I got 56% on the obscure veggies quiz.
However, I did get 100% on Roald Dahl Story Or Horror Movie?
