Way to go Joe!

Honda Accord reaches 1 million miles

 

WOW...Honda needs to buy him a new Accord and display his old one for all to admire.

 

I just read an Associated Press story on this ...He is from Saco, Maine. Yesterday, the town and American Honda gave a parade in his honor. He was given a new 2012 Accord by American Honda. Joe is a former Honda mechanic and has done nearly all of his own work. He swears that the engine and transmission are the originals to the car.
He credits always using Honda parts and careful maintennance schedules. Amazing...

 

Props for claim adjusters! The article says the owner is one (like me)

 

Amazed the underbody held up that well in Maine, although rust is a factor of age more then miles

 

Yes, strike up the Band, and they did..That's great that he got a new Honda for his service to that car...

 

This is not front page news it's a Honda!!!!

 

I am amazed that any AT could survive that long, even with proper fluid changes.

 

Hey Smag..some of us don't drive out automatics like a stick shift..down shifting and all that. lol

 

My Fit has an AT, and I am glad it does, considering how little power the car has, and how steep and long the grades are on the interstates near me. It shifts all the time, and will hold at 5500 going up the long grades (10mi) in 3rd gear. Its like a go-kart.
