Yup, my Sol has hit 200k. And low and behold, wear and tear has pretty much ravaged the car. It's not actually falling apart, tho. Just some major stuff to replace if I want it to keep it running like new. Gonna spend sometime replacing parts and what not, but in the long run I'll prolly be replacing the Sol soon. *sigh*

sucks that you have to repair stuff. but its cool that you hit 200k! nice picture by the way, you're cluster is freakin clean! i've got pollen and dust and crap from my dirt road all over my cluster...the plastic is not that clean. did you clean it up for the picture?

yah...well i always like to keep my interior clean...hehe, can't stand dust. Whenever I can I usually just do a quick wipe down. The little red LED, is part of the alarm. Don't know why they installed it there, but I don't mind. Thought it was pretty cool.

...hmmm, I should say, that red LED is not in the cluster...it's a refection off the plastic cover. The light is actually on the hub...ANYHOW...

 

...not quite sure what I'll get next, but as my title says, "Honda Driver for Life." I've had my eyes on a TSX for a while, just because it's one of the better looking Hondas to come out in a while. If the rumors are true and the SH-AWD trickles down the Acura lineup, and the TSX gets a "boost" in power, then I'm sold on a TSX. If not, I'll prolly settle for a S2. I need that open air above my head...Sol has spoiled me so. If it comes down to money crunching and $5 gas prices, which is coming up sooner than later IMO, then maybe I'll wait for a Honda Fit/Jazz.

 

But, if other automakers put out something I like, I wouldn't mind jumping the Honda ship. I've been keeping an eye out for the Toyota Tacoma X-Runner and the new Nissan Frontier. As you can see, my choice in a next car is like all over the map. That's because it'll be hard replacing the Sol, since there's nothing out there quite like it. I don't plan on ever giving it up tho. I plan on keeping it as long as I can - too much blood, sweat, and tears went into the damn thing.

hell yeah buddysol, 200k. I'm at 160, a motor swap and 3 accidents later, it's better than ever, it just looks like crap. :) I can't sell mine either, but I'm also looking. The TSX is so nice..... But then I'll want to fix that up, too, and we all know how that goes. Congrats on the 200k, it's nice driving a car like crazy and it still rolls that long.
