Thank You, 2003 Honda Civic Coupe EX

Today, I drove my 100,000th mile in my car.

2003 Honda Civic Coupe EX - 100,000

As I sat there in the driver seat taking this picture, I couldn’t help but recall all the different drives I’ve made that contributed to the number on the odometer:

  • Half a year’s worth of trips to MMHS followed by 4 years worth going to SDSU
  • Nearly 3 years’ worth of commute to work at Old Town, then Mission Gorge, and now Murphy Canyon (next to Chargers practice facility!)
  • Family and friends parties all over San Diego, from Chula Vista to Temecula–sometimes even in the same day!
  • Random trips to various Indian Casinos around San Diego
  • Several trips to the local bowling alley (my Chargers bowling ball is ALWAYS in the trunk)
  • Random Irvine/Anaheim trips to hit up Spectrum or Downtown Disney
  • Monica’s dance competitions which always seem to be SOOO FARRR!!!
  • Disneyland/Magic Mountain/Sea World
  • Weekly trips down to Point Loma to go to Mass at St. Charles Borromeo
  • 9+ years worth of dates/outings with the girlfriend, now wife (and my baby’s mama).

So in honor of this momentous occasion, I was thinking of pimpin’ out the ride somehow.  Maybe getting some nice rims?  Or yellow fog lights?  Maybe I’ll finally get that gold molding across the grill of the hood and above the rear license plate to complete the ultimate Chargerfan Civic.

LOL, you know what’s going to happen right?  I’m just going to end up investing in a car seat base so I can take Jovie for a ride in my car for a change.  =P  …And maybe a San Diego Chargers Skinit Tailgate Pack.  =)

I wonder what the next 100,000 will have in store.  Whatever happens, I hope it’ll be just as fun as the first 100,000.

Thanks 2003 Honda Civic Coupe EX!

    What a nice trip along memory lane for your civic :-) I should make a similar blog like this because my 4-Runner just reached 100,000 miles this past Monday. I didn't even take a picture of the odometer so I probably won't lol. Congrats to both of us for making it this far with our cars. Can't live without them!

    Best memory in that car was when we were at the Jack in the Box after the World of Dance comp. and saw that little incident with the guy in the truck and the police pulled up behind us to try and get him out. Best chicken sandwich I ever had

    Aww, I love reading your blogs honey =) You're kind of like Phil on Modern Family in a way, hehe… so sentimental and all about family. Hopefully Jovie doesn't run you over with that car though =P My favorite memory was probably driving to LAX the day after our wedding for our flight to NY. P.S. FTR, most of the Irvine/DL trips were in the Benz, but whatever! lol

    Yellow fog lights would look cool…i’d think twice about the rims though…
