With proper care and maintenance, Honda cars boast of being able to travel distances equal to the moon and back. If you ever thought this was just a myth, a 2006 Civic that’s traveled more than a million miles on its original powertrain recently surfaced to dispel any doubts.

Popular brand representative and social media personality HondaPro Jason shared pictures of a blue FA-generation Civic sedan whose odometer maxed out at “999999” miles. It’s not uncommon to see Hondas wrack up six-figure mileages, but hitting the million-mile mark is impressive for any passenger vehicle. Doing so on the original engine and transmission elevates this one to the realm of legend.

Upon further digging, the Civic was sold to its one and only owner back in 2006 through Mathews Honda in Marion, Ohio, so we reached out to the dealership for the full scoop on this mighty little machine. The first thing we found out is that the car's total mileage is unclear because the owner is still driving it every day. The real number has to be calculated via the trip computer since the digital display stops at 999,999. At last check, it was 1,001,043 miles.
