I had an 85 accord that I treated like every day was the last day I had to dog the car before someone stole it. It still didn't complain. I bought the thing for $800 with 180,000 miles on it and drove it to 255,000 when I traded it in for my svx for $500. I only did that then because the synchronizer on the fifth gear wore out so I couldn't use that gear anymore. There were two times that I had the engine to over 8500 rpm for several seconds on a red line of 6250. Man did it ever go through cv axles though. . . just like my wheel bearings now.
