Last Saturday Paul and I made a quick day trip down to New Jersey for my friend Melissa’s baby shower.

On the way home, my little Civic made it to 100,000 miles!

I have never owned a car this long, and I’m incredibly excited about it … so much so that I pulled over on the side of I-80 to take a picture of the odometer.

I’m loving the fact that the Civic is still running strong after eight years, and that I’m saving money every month by not making a car payment.

When you factor in Paul and I, my parents, and my sister and brother-in-law, my family has owned seven Hondas in the past 15 years.

And even though I’m coveting a MINI Cooper as my next car, I’ll always love my Hondas.
