    This is true. I've had a bunch of them, the mechanic bill has been small.

    That's a shitload of miles!

    My wife switched from Camry to Accord in '06. They seem to be pretty well equal to Toyotas. But that's just my opinion. I like em both.

    My man! I may reach out for a consult.

    I just finished my 60k maintenance and enjoyed it. Dealership wanted over 1k and I got it done for a couple hundred in fluids and parts. I've installed all my suspension, armor, and little mods. taken angle grinders to my truck :sawzall: and so on, but pretty basic shit overall. Most complex thing to date was a cv axle replacement. Elementary wrenching compared to your PhD wrenching, but I hope to move up to kindergarten soon.

    my familys owned plenty of hondas and yotas.



    and the one ford. Oh god that ford 3.5. that engine is terrible. mothers flex decided the water pump was going to leak. So, it did. Water pump is internal to the engine. Coolant got in the oil. so far its been good since i put the new pump in, but i fear bearings got washed out
