Default Stories of durability and awesome mileage ;D

I own a 99 Civic Sedan and the odometer just rolled over 150,000. I stopped the car,jumped out and did a little dance in celebration. What are some of the mileages on your Civic's ? Any awesome feats of durability out there ?

I just rolled over 182,000 miles on my eg hatch. I've been driving for about 50,000 miles and havent had to replace anything major other than the thermostat but thats not hard or expensive.

Celebrate thread diversity! I just watched my 96 roll over to 165,000. I've only had it for about 1,200 miles, gave it some TLC(tuneup and rear brakes) and its treating me really well. I bought a civic because I have a kid on the way and I need reliablity more than anything, not to mention a car thats pretty easy to work on. I love it! I plan on getting a newer EK for the wife, it'll be great having part interchangeable cars.

I get the second highest mileage prize I hope...LOL. I have a 93 EX Coupe with 248,850 miles on it...ive had a few problems but only because I never had the money to fix them right away so of course it escalated into bigger problems.

The only things ive had to do to this car since I bought it a year ago is new tires, a tune up, battery and misc other things. But now need a new rack & pinion and a new clutch. Still the most relaible I have ever owned.
