224,000 Miles

Bookmark and Share

I'm still in the Junky Car Club. My 95 Ford Taurus died about a month ago. Well, we just replaced it with a 96 Honda Accord with 224,000 miles! Yeah baby. Sweet retro ride. Got a great deal on it and our kids love it because it has a sun roof.

I drive an 88 S-10 that gets on a good day, driving down hill, with the wind behind me, 15mpg. My church is 85 miles from my home (I'm commuting until our house sells). The truck has 179k on it. So my great brother is giving me his 94 Accord to drive (twice the gas mileage) for a while. It too has 179k at the moment. I get the Accord in 2 weeks, so we can rock the junky Accord club together! Though mine isn't the fancy version you got - no sunroof :-) And he warned the transmission doesn't like to shift when it's cold, especially into overdrive in the winter, and I live in Minnesota, so winter is 1/2 of the year!

But I'm going to love it!

Mark...dude, you are such an inspiration! You make me want to sell my '04 Ford F150 and go buy a 90's Honda! That's actually what I drove back in the 80's and 90's. I'm sure I would love the gas mileage!!
Blessings!

Pastor Mark,

That's awesome! Very cool. I will look forward to you returning to the calendar.

We were sad to lose our '93 Saturn last summer (to a drugged driver who crashed into it on the side of the road).

Have to admit I was little prideful about the car. I liked to tell people I drove a '93 Saturn about as much as Don M. used to like to tell people he didn't own a tv.

I was really hoping someone would step up and give you a brand new car.

Great job driving debt free! I love seeing pastors win with their finances in this way. www.debtfreepastors.com

Good work!
