I remember last year there was someone with 230k miles. He had bought his Civic right when they came out (end of 05?). He worked for a bank and was on the road 8 hrs a day.

everything needs to be delivered by a certain time every day, and there's a lot of paperwork involved so UPS and FedEx are out of the question. I actually work for a separate company than the pharmacy, we deliver for them, Red Cross, and the local airport (lost/late luggage).

Like I said, I have 2TB (2 terabytes or 2,000 gigabytes) of movies, tv series, and educational videos (all legal of course). It would take over 8 months for me to watch everything once at 10 hours a day (the average time a spend watching tv every day), 6 days a week

And of course the thrill of driving a 5spd manual with performance suspension on curvy back roads keeps things interesting

side note: this has been bothering me ever since I came to this forum -- Why the hell does Monroe shocks advertise on a forum board exclusively dedicated to 8th gen civics when they don't even offer shocks/struts for the 8th gen?

LOL, I haven't even hit 300 miles on my 08 EX, and this guy's got over DOUBLE that on the last 3 digits of his odometer! ROFL

Way to go though ... gotta dig getting good mileage and a long-lasting car!

Hey, I noticed some cars have license plates with the word "transporter" written on them. Is this is what you do/have?

You're like a truck driver but drive a much cooler car. How often do you have to recharge your AC?
