I was talking to a co-worker who replaced his civic with another. Turns out he had put 186k miles on it before he traded it in.
My 2010 Civic has just under 50K miles on it. If I retire next year as planned, the miles will stay low.

We are trying to decide what to do with my wife's car. She has a 2005 TSX with 150K miles on it that looks and drives like a 3-year old car. Hondas are almost indestructible.

My mother had a civic and was broadsided by a teenager that ran a stop sign, totalled the car but she was ok.

She just got another civic. She really likes them.

I don't want to jinx myself but this Civic has been by far THE most reliable car we've ever owned. I put on a minimum of 140 miles per day during the work week. As far as I know still original spark plugs! Planning on retiring also next year and picking up a 6cyl Accord coupe at that point for a daily driver.

Keep checking in as and when you can JB. The sites gotten better since the upgrade but there are still issues. Hopefully they'll workout the kinks in time for the next upgrade.

Firefox and Ad Block+ works for me. I haven't seen ads on S2KI in years.

Disgruntled Publicus has been complaining about that too.

Oh MY Lord! What I don't have to listen to about the issues on this site and on Facebook! And on top of that, fears that all those intrusive pop ups and videos carry some malignant virus or malware disease.

So he had me all signed up and my credit card out to purchase a license from AdGuard.

All was a Go! until referred to legal (me). The contract is governed by the laws of the Russian Federation and any dispute must be resolved by arbitration in Moscow. It's OK for me, but there's a religious travel ban on Disgruntled in Iran. And as you all know, the cheapest cargo flight to Moscow is via Iran, Syria and then with a short stop in Uzbekistan for maintenance, and then on to the final destination. Disgruntled is trying to make sure he can get a visa from Iran before we spring for the program. He's sure to have a dispute! For now we suffer the insulting barrage of advertising and pop up videos.
