Wow, lio45 over 300,000kms! That's great. I don't see too many on the roads these days but the ones I do see seem to still be in decent shape.

Yeah I heard something about the crash factor but I also had people try and tell me the Neon was a lemon, don't buy it. Sure, it's not the best built car (the frameless windows for starters) but compared to my parent's early '90s GM car....yeah. I also had a Plymouth Acclaim that I bought off my parents and that was over 220,000 when I sold it (I still regret it) and it was super-low maintenance even though my mom never bothered much with routine maintenance.

Anyway, just so I don't feel left out, My car can now join the skyline in the background group, taken just yesterday:
