Thanks cluby. You did make some good points too.

Maintenance and paying attention to the cars (or ATV's) is the key. I am actually pretty anial about my cars, and every weekend I check the air pressuer of the tires, all fluid levels, air filter, and even clean out under the hood to make sure there are not any leaves or anything there. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] I also keep the interior nice and clean too. I have 3 cars and all of them are over 10 years old and both the outside, inside, and engine are like new.

As for what service I have had done on my Accord, I had the timing belt (water pump & misc other parts too then) changed at 90k or about 4 years ago, and last January I had to put a new EGR valve in, and had to take it in to the shop to have a new cable put in that controls the hot - cold ****. Right now my only issue is that my power antenna doesn't always go down when it is cold [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]

Also, if you are interested we are organizing an ATV ride at Spider lake the 12th & 13th of May! You should come!

 

well that sounds good that's mostly the only place that I do ride anways. Have you gotten a new law book from the DNR to see what has changed for this year.

 

Not yet, I will don't think much has changed though.

Anyway, head into the Arctic Cat section and there is a post there about getting together and riding in MN. Spider lake is a nice area. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]
