My wife had a civic, had 200,000 on the odometer when it was trashed. Not bad, but, that was after 2 expensive timing belt changes and a blown head gasket. And they still say these are wonderful cars? They didn't have to pay the bill for the head gasket!
Mom's caddy...150,000, valve covers never been off, still going strong. Bro's Chev pickup, 250,000 same. cutlass wagon popped a head gasket...but at 280,000 miles! And these are all 90's models. Ricers are brainwashed. BTW the fit-finish was about body panels, you want to talk quality, let's talk. Remember, the above cars are all family cars, not "My friends moms boyfriends Japassissi went 5 jillion miles without an oil change.
