615,000km Honda Accord and Still Ticking! Are you surprised?

Hi there,

Ever since my 1990 Honda accord reached 500 000km, everyone who sees my car has been telling me that I should write a letter to Honda. Last fall I finally decided to write a letter to Honda, but for some reason I decided to write a song. Since then, it's turned into something else. The song started out as something goofy, but ended up becoming a big production. Then it only seemed right to make a music video to go along with it. Lacking a video camera, I decided to make it stop-motion.

My family has had this car since I was 10 (I'm 29 now). I learned to drive on it. I drove it across Canada and back. My family went out for a drive together to watch it roll over to 300 000. My brother and I were driving up north when it got to 500. It's been everywhere. Now it has over 616 000 km on it, and shows no signs of stopping... other than the rust. I think Honda should know about it. I think it's a great testament to just how well made these cars are, and I'd love to tell my car's story to the world. Maybe if I'm lucky, someone can help me out with the rust!

I'm sending out this link to my video on YouTube with the hopes that it will be seen. If you have any suggestions as to who I could contact who might be interested in seeing this, I would really appreciate it.

I'd love your feedback. Check it out.


Thanks!

ps. My boyfriend recently decided to get a new car, and it wasn't hard to convince him to buy a Honda (he picks it up on Saturday!!!)
