I have a 1994 Honda Civic with a blown head gasket. I acquired the car with the blown head gasket and 179,000 miles on the clock. I'm now at 184,000 miles, so 5000 miles with a blown head gasket and the car is easily the best running car I've owned yet aside from my old Toyota pickup truck.
I didn't pay for the car and with the cost near $1000 to have the gasket replaced, I'm not planning on putting that much money into a car with that many miles. Thus, if I make it another 15,000 miles to 200k with the blown head gasket, I will resurrect this thread a year from now and declare myself the winner of "who owns the best car on lfs forum."
Blown head gasket or not, this car runs fantastic aside from the fact that it has a girlamatic transmission in it. I think the car will last another 15k. I'm just not sure if I can last another 15k driving a girlamatic.
