98 Honda Civic, flipped past 188k miles this weekend. Idles like a new Chevy. Btwn 30-33mpg. Only repairs outside of scheduled maintenance have been 1) a crack in the exhaust manifold, which appears to be a known problem - $50 welded locally and 2) both CV joints, which I guess should be expected given the mileage. Wish the FD was as easy on my wallet.

too popular to be in the lounge

'99 Oldsmobile Aurora
It doesn't corner quite as good, but the a/c works, the CD player doesn't skip over every little bump, and my ears don't ring after an hour of driving.
