Our Honda line up
1979 Honda Prelude
1979 Honda Accord HB
1979 Honda CBX (1047 CC in-line six cylinder motorcyle) To this day one of my favorite motorcycles of all time, once I learned how to ride it via throttle steering)
1986 Honda Civic Si (put 253,496 miles on it)
1987 Honda HR21 lawn mower (still runs)
2003 Honda S2000 (has just under 85,000 trouble free miles on it)
We are about to buy a 2008 Honda Fit S to replace our dying Ford Exploder that has 226,000 + miles on it with a failing RF wheel bearing and a transmission that is going away. Very difficult to get it into first and increasing hard to get into second gear.

I have owned two Honda motorcycles but I don't remember the years or models exactly. Cars are easy.
~ 1981 Honda XL200R (?) It was a pretty small motorcycle but I rode it work in San Diego sometimes, or just drove it around on weekends.
1982 Honda Prelude in dark blue with a stick shift. Put over 100,000 miles on it. (My very first new car.)
1984? Honda XR250 (?) This was my first dirt bike. It was a friggin pain to start so I sold it and got a Kawasaki.
1987 Honda Accord in medium blue, with a 5-speed manual. Prego and needed a 4 door. Sold it and got the Accord wagon. It only had about 65,000 miles on it.
1991 Honda Accord Wagon in Hampshire green. It was a 5-speed and I loved it. Bought it since I had two youngun's and a German Shepherd (Kyras). Sold it with over 100,000 miles and got the Van.
1998 Honda Odyssey Van. My first automatic since they didn't sell it in a stick.
Still have it and it has about 135,000 miles on it.
2001 Honda S2000 in Silverstone. Put about 58,000 miles on it and then got the Suzuka. My ex husband still has it.
2005 Honda S2000 in Suzuka. I have almost 64,000 miles on it now.

'89 Civic Si - Had 290k miles on it when I bought it... Had a couple issues though and I only kept it three months. From July of 05 to Oct.
'92 Civic Si - Greatest DD I have ever owned. I owned it for about a year (Oct 05 - July 06) and regret selling it very much.
'00 S2000 - Purchased this thing on the 8th of this month and am lovin it! Only thing I'm unhappy with right now is how much snow is on the ground and how little I'm able to enjoy her right now!!
