Griffith Honda is proud to announce that Joe, a Maine resident is nearing his millionth mile in his old reliable Honda.

Joe is a dedicated Honda fan to say the least.  He has been documenting his journey with his Honda Accord over the last 15 years and will finally reach his goal of driving a million miles later this year.

“Joe’s journey is a testament to his Honda’s reliability and how people have come to count on Honda for more than 50 years to get them to where they need to go,” said Tom Peyton, Honda brand manager for American Honda Motor Co., Inc.

When Joe hit the 300,000 mile mark he began documenting his progress by taking pictures along the way.  Each year Joe drives around 62,000 miles and from now on he will be known as “Million Mile Joe.”  According to Honda’s Facebook page Joe has his own unique way of driving his Honda, “You know how most people let their fuel go to almost empty? Joe never does. He’s also a creature of habit, using only Honda air, oil and fuel filters. Joe never rides heavy on the brakes, and changes the fluid every few years. He’s also replaced the fuel pump, both cooling fans and the radiator twice.”
