Fantastic work by RPA, Santa Monica, USA for Honda. They managed to find a chap called Joe who had just reached one million miles in his 1990 Honda Accord. To celebrate Honda invited him to a “Small press conference”. Instead of a small press conference they surprised him with an over the top parade featuring amongst others, a giant odometer float powered by six people spinning life-sized hamster wheels, an airplane banner congratulating Joe, several marching bands, and of course a brand new 2012 Honda Accord!

Hi Charlie,
If you want to know how he did it have a look at http://www.MillionMileJoe.com, it tells you how he took care of the car so well.
Best,

My ’89 Accord is still going strong. It has 365000 miles on it. Do I get half a new Honda at 500000? On fuel, my ’89 gets 33-37 gpm. I see that the new Hondas are just now getting 43 mpg. So, it took 22 years at add 10 more mpg…

That is supposed to MPG not GPM.
