2002 Honda Accord.

Kinda hoping my car will end up like the ones in the Toyota commercials with the people saying their car has like 400,000 miles or some shit. That's incredible. Although if I put anywhere near that many miles on a car, it's way past time for a new car.

Right now I'm coming up on 107,000 miles. The repair dude says I'm gonna end up having to get a timing belt put in. Apparently those things run like $2,000. Ughhh.

I love Nissans.

I've been in love since the 4th gen maximas.. well that's kind of a lie, the 3rd and 4th gen 300zx's, but I wasn't around driving age at that time.

My wife is driving a 2006 Chevy Cobalt. It's got a hair less than 40K miles, and has been a great car so far. No problems whatsoever (knock on wood). I was driving a 1998 Acura 2.3 CL that I'd had since 2000. Sold it a while back, and we were a 1 car household for a while. It wasn't a big deal because we both work in Bethesda only about 3 miles from where we live. So sometimes we'd carpool, other times I'd just hop on the bus ($1.35 and 15 minutes later I'd be at work). But I just got tired of it. We saved some money sharing a car for a while, but I could afford the new car, and frankly for as hard as I've been working, I felt like I owed it to myself to get a new one. Plus the wife will be working in the Tenleytown area effective Sept 1, so the timing was just right.

the new 4th gen altimas are freaking sweet though, love the ride, the nissan D platform fwd is better than many other fwd's I've driven as far as performance.. save maybe the honda preludes, but that's to be expected

it's towards the end of the generation run so most bugs are worked out

as with any other car check on all recalls and TSBs

2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited. Just rolled over 50K miles, and have owned it for the last 10K. So far no problems. I have the 4.7 V8 so no MDS. Mileage is actually just shy of 19 HWY doing 70+, which is what the Hemi would get. I did not buy it for the MPG, I bought it for getting through the artic winters we have been having in the mid-west. So far, it has dominated at that task.

For #1, you could probably get a tuner that you can remove TM with and then reprogram the computer if you need to take it in for work.

If your truck has a tow/haul mode, try using it. It should hold the shifts longer and the computer will not allow the transmission to shift so often (up or down).

I don't have much longer. I've put some miles on this truck. I have 95K now so about 5k more and I'm good to go. As far as tow haul mode goes, it causes the engine to brake quite a bit as your coming to a stop and shifts pretty hard. When pulling a heavy trailer its great but unloaded it blows.
