I often described my wife's old Honda Civic, which we finally sold (still running and able to be driven) w/ just north of 340,000 miles, as having been to the moon and on its way back. I like the idea that someday Honda hardware could, in fact, send something to the moon.

The real fun is the equivalent spaceship. "This here Honda Bucolic has so many miles on from its Earth-Moon runs that it's basically been to Neptune and back."

That'd be a very impressive service record - Neptune is right around ten thousand times as far as the moon.

That's just short of 20 years worth of use if earth-moon is your work-home commute, that's a pretty good analogy actually.

Extra impressive then, since you'd be making what's typically been a 6-day round trip every day!
