I’ve worked up the bravery to get it into VTEC a few times, and it hasn’t punished me…

…yet.

    My wife and i had a '95 Civic that we got rid of at 237k and i would have kept it if the exhaust had not rusted apart. It also needed transmission work, 2nd and 5th did not work and you had to hold it in reverse. I miss that little car.

      The longest lasting cars I’ve ever had have been a pair of Suzuki Sidekick Sport and Jeep Liberty SUVs.

      I have three of those Jeeps still yet and my son has one of the Sidekicks.

      I drove my 1998 sidekick way over a decade. My son is driving it today, over 300k miles. My 2007 Jeep liberty has over 300k miles and still runs. My 2004 Jeep Liberty (one of two) has over 280k miles. One is for parts.

      I’m terrible for maintenance and those cars have all chugged along with minimal work.

      Blows my mind.

        My ex’s mom had a jeep liberty from around that time frame that was an absolute heap. It had constant issues. Crazy how yours have lasted and she was ready to drive hers into a ditch.
