The Car Turns Two Hundred Thousand


Miles, that is.  When the legendary Sable died, we replaced it with a Saturn Vue.  Though made by a subsidiary of General Motors, our mechanic says the Vue was built with a Honda motor and drive-train.  Whatever its provenance, the car has been reliable.  Today it began counting towards three hundred thousand miles.  I was at mile marker 59 on the freeway when it turned.  Along with the Chev, which just returned from 10 days in Escalante, we're a 420,600 family.

  1. I hit that mark in my 1998 Honda Accord about two months ago. Happy days. Still running strong, even with a few minor mechanical issues.

    1. Most people don't want to deal with ANY minor mechanical issues, so they dump the 18-year-old Honda. It is a foolish choice. Instead, you have demonstrated that you are a smart man, Mr. Clark.
