IV got a 2012 civic, and I learned recently that Japanese drivers swap out engines at like 40k miles and sell them to us on the cheap. When my baby goes out, you can bet I'm breathing new life into her

40k miles is nothing for a 2012 Honda... Keep up with oil changes, replace the timing belt, etc. and that shit could run for up to 8x that.

I think you misunderstood my comment. I'm at 400k currently. Gonna replace the engine with a barley touched 40k when it dies

Oh, I wasn't arguing, I was just pointing out that the new engine will last forever
