Hit a 1/4 million yesterday! I bought this Honda CRV 8,732 days ago in suburban Chicago only to find on the title when I paid it off it came into the country in Portland! It’s been good to me and I’m closing in on 25 years with it! The tape deck still works although the CD player is not tracking so well anymore. And yes, Graceland has been in slot 2 for over twenty years!
This car is filled with memories. In 2003 gas was $1.50/gallon. Countless hours of touring (as some of you will recall). This thing took four people and a trailer of gear over The Grapevine in summer with the AC on no problemo. Down the coast to the redwoods. All over the west coast many, many times. Weddings, funerals, groceries, dump runs, moves, new puppies… it’s seen and done it all and it’s been good to me. :-)
