Wow! Well on it's way to half a million miles and hardly a scratch on her.
Lets see the cars!!!!

I think those have the F-22 or F23 motor. Even from just standard bolt-ons of AEM intake, MSD ignition, Apexi 4-1 header, and a HKS catback with a strut bar and swaybar it would be alot of fun!!! You could... put a H22 Dohc Vtec in that bay and have a Japanese Camaro
F22 in that one. It's automatic, so I don't plan to do any performance mods. Definitely would if it was a 5-speed manual.
I do however plan to make a couple anesthetic alterations, but first need to fix the body damage.
It needs both rear doors, but thankfully CB7 sedan and CB9 wagon use the same rear doors, so I'll steal that off my parts CB7. Will need some quarter panel body work on both sides, and some work on the front fender/bumper/hood. Again, the CB7 will sacrifice some parts before heading to the crusher. Then a MAACO paint job (color suggestions?), a suspension refresh, and ride on. Surprisingly the engine doesn't even smoke much, compared to most of these still on the road. Must've been well maintained 195k miles, before the grandpa decided to start crashing into things...
Spotted a nice looking Mercedes 190E 2.6 at Costco today. Central Ohio had snow yesterday and you can tell the 190 is garaged kept but I wouldn't drive that increasingly rare car on the slushy salted roads.
My 1993 Accord SE (CB7) and 1991 Accord EX (CB9). Imagine the stories they could tell, if cars could talk... CB7 is at 308k miles, CB9 just turned 195k miles.
My '24 Ram Bighorn 2500 with the 6.4 and "Night" package I picked up on Black Friday. Really enjoying it thus far. Pic is from the Family and I going to cut our Xmas tree in Northern AZ. Hadn't done that before but we had a great time.
I really wanted a white truck, well now I have one! 
Gonna be rocking this look for a while. Extended forecast doesn't get out of the 20's for a couple weeks.

2023 Subaru Forester Sport. 24 layers of bedliner, satin black with pearl, metallic, and silver flake in the clear. My favorite vehicle to chase with.

Some of our cars in the snow over the weekend. Biggest snow we’ve had in quite awhile. The RAV4 goes thru the snow very well. As well as the Escape too. The Jeep did too when it was running.
Freshly washed outside and detailed inside. The paint is jacked up unfortunately. Shame. Ill just keep driving it until it dies. 10 years in and 133k miles.

Washed and vacuumed my RAV4 today at my work car wash during lunch. It looks so good. I love my RAV4 especially when it’s clean. I wanted to wash it yesterday but they were backed out to the road yesterday and today they were slightly less busy but I got in and got it done. I prefer to hand wash at home but can’t with all the snow and everything. It’s almost 60 degrees today. Sometime this week or weekend I want to swing by Bath and Body Works and get a Mahogany Teakwood air freshener for it.
It likes non ethanol any grade, gave me over 38mpg. Decided on Pennzoil Ultra Platinum 0w20 with a small splash
of Schaeffers 132 Ep Moly w Mobil 1 103a filter.

My RAV4 last night at the dead mall in town.
I recently sold this 996 Turbo. It was rather rare with the Aerokit and full carbon fiber interior option but I was constantly worried about someone running in to me or the transmission going out which is $15k to have professionally rebuilt.
2 1/2 weeks with me, enjoying it a lot so far.
