EDIT: For the record, I've only ever worked with BMW's. :eek:

I see. It is different, most cars I've seen don't have 1/10 mile measures on the odometer, only on the trip.

That's what I thought too.

You should sue Honda for being different. Use the happenings in this thread as emotional trauma.

Yes the car only has 11,493 miles on it. When I begun to borrow the car it had less then 10,000 miles on it (which means she averaged less then 500 miles a year). I hate putting miles on it but I have nothing else to drive. She said she is going to sell it soon since she doesn't really have a need for a car anymore and feels better that someone is getting use out of it. I drive the car as little as possible and take good care of it. We just changed the oil and filter on it and if you couldnt tell from the pictures, I washed it incredibly good.

You would think that it has fluid leaks or whatever from all the disuse. Did she have stuff like tubes and belts replaced?

Fixed?

Fixed, the white one is 1/10 mile

What white one? Am I going insane?

Yes. 11.5k

Do you even have a car? have you ever driven? Everyone and their mother knows the white ones are 1/10 mile.

:laugh:

I fear for society :(

That car is in great shape... reminds me of when my grandpa got a new car in 2000 and I got his 87 Chrysler Lebaron with 23K miles on it. It came out to 2K miles a year

Unbelievable, the car I've had for 6 years is in worse shape than that.
