I just don’t quite trust my Honda Accord but it treated me well. It is a 1993–seventeen years old. I never had a car that age that did not burn one quart of oil. It had regular oil changes. And does not have much rust on it.
It has over 200,000 miles on it and this year we bought a 2006 Honda CRV which is now our main vehicle. We were putting too much money in the older Honda for repairs.
My wife loves our new red car. And that is all she drives now. I have to run the older Honda every day to the post office so the battery does not go dead on it.
Our gray Honda took us to Texas and back and gave us many years of reliable service. My wife inherited the car from her deceased father-in-law.
I don’t quite trust the old car: it occasionally does not start. And idiot lights go off once in awhile scaring me for I have no idea why and then it misbehaves.
It still runs, though, and is our backup vehicle. It has treated us well and I want to recognize that. And not be too harsh on it for it just got old and has its idiosyncrasies.
