Happy 150 000KM!

After 11250 liters of gas = 250 tanks of gas, Four sets of brakes, two sets of tires, Five sets of windshield wipers. 22 oil changes, two accidents, a few road trips, Matt's cottage parties, the Sunfire still lives!

When I first bought the car I was just starting my job at the Coast Guard. I needed a cheap, fuel efficient car to get me from Ottawa to Prescott till I found a place to live in Prescott. The good old Aries K car from college had already died a peaceful death many months before, but that is another story . The ideal of a new car that would be reliable looked very good!

While the Sunfire wasn't my first choice, Honda Civic, it was the best price at the time. After reality finally set in and driving a Corvette instead wasn't going to happen. I started the 4 year 10 month trek that has brought me to the 150 000 KM mark. Yes I can purchase a car with more horsepower or is just newer, but she has been reliable and still has some more years left in her.
