Bose comes through for my Christmas too! (was "Present from Bose!")

We finally ditched the car at 115k miles
because, despite being front wheel drive, it wasn't worth crap in even
so much as a dusting of snow.

You need snow tires on a Honda, that's true. But then if you live in
New Hampshire, you really need snow tires on any vehicle that isn't
four-wheel-drive.

Was that "merely 115,000 miles" or WOW! 115,000 miles?

I sold my Immortal Accord last August. It was 13 years old and had
never had a repair to the core vehicle (excluding air conditioner,
cruise control, and exhaust system--the last being expendable items in
New Hampshire). Not did it have any rust-through. I was really sorry
to see it go, but I feared it would suddenly dump me on the asphalt
with no car around me. Except for its sibling the Civic (which lasted
10 years) I had never before owned an automobile past its sixth
anniversay, nor one that didn't require major surgery somewhere along
the line.

all the best -- Dan Ford
