My Trusty Civic

On May 31, 2008, in Personal, by brandon

Yeah, my trusty old car that my mom and dad got for me brand new back in 1996 right after my mission just had a “birthday” last Thursday. It just turned 200,000 miles and it is still going strong.

The “Check Engine” light just came on a couple days ago, but I am sure it is nothing major. It has happened before and has always been for minor things.

It is funny because everyone I know that owns a Japanese car has nothing but good things to say about them. I would never buy an American car. But those that buy other models, tend to have problems from time to time, even with new cars.

Well, here is a short video I took while driving down Highway 34 from Loveland to Greeley. It is a little blurry because all I had in the car was our old camera and the quality isn’t that great. Even though it is blurry, you can still make it out.

Here is a link to the video. I would have just posted it here, but when I did it messed up the layout of the page, so rather then messing with it for a half hour, follow the link.

Here are a couple pics of the trusty car.

Here’s to another 200,000.

    I honestly think that our car is a lemon. It’s given us nothing but problems and it’s been very disappointing. I love the features of the car, but I HATE THE CAR itself. That is great that your Civic is still going strong. :)
