SACO, Maine (AP) — A Maine man and his car are celebrating a previously unreached milestone.
Joe LoCicero of Norway was given a 2012 Honda Accord at a parade in Saco on Sunday after surpassing the million-mile mark on the odometer of his 1990 Accord. He reached the magic milestone last Thursday.
A Honda spokeswoman tells The Portland Press Herald it's the first time the manufacturer has documented an Accord reaching one million miles.
LoCicero says he bought the car in 1996 with 74,000 miles. The former mechanic did much of his own work. The secret he says is following maintenance schedules, using quality parts and driving safely.
He swears the transmission and engine are original.
Now that he has a new Accord, he's not sure what he'll do with the old one.
