Wow, that's only 6,000 miles more than my 2011 Honda Accord has.

And that's a Subaru, so it will last forever. Good car

Five people who have given me rides in 2008 and newer Honda Accords turn 21 this month. June 1995 holds the record for the month with most Accord drivers born (5). There's some variety: there's a 2013 Accord, a 2011, two 2008s, and a 2012. There's a coupe and 4 sedans. In fact, the count for June '95 is the same as the count for all of 1994! So if you turn 21 this month, be proud! You were born in a good month.

FWIW, the count for 1993-1997 is 56, averaging out to just under 1 a month.

Specifically, mileage per year. Too late to edit the post

As usual I'm changing the topic, anyway I have to tell you about a little part of the lecture I had this morning because it was too funny.

In practice we were talking about rare earth elements, and the teacher was talking about where those elements were discovered. At a certain point he stated: "yttrium was discovered by a scientist called Gadolin, that lived in Turku. Does anyone know where this place is?"
He probably intended to make a rhetorical question, he didn't expect some of us to know the answer(*). Anyway, I immediately remembered Ariete and so I answered "It is in Finland!"
After this all the present turned in my direction, with an expressions that said: "how do you know that????" Actually, even the teacher looked quite surprised, and the all of them looked really funny in that moment

(*) yes, our average geography knowledge is quite low.

You don't think that happens everywhere? Some varied nationalities were asked to fill a Spanish map for lols. A UK citizen put Pamplona on Andalucía with a bull drawing for San Fermin and everything. You cannot make this up.

Edit: Found the maps. Enjoy.

I just know the region where the cities in spain are, but I wouldn't be able to put them on a map. I know that Barcelona is in the northeast by Perpignan, Valencia is the east coast, Madrid is in the center, Huevla is right next to Portugal, Malaga is by Gibraltar, Sevilla is in the south, Bilbao, Celta Vigo, Eibar, and Elche are the northwest, and Getafe and Leganes are the southern suburbs of Madrid

LOL I know many cities as well because of my geography interest. I usually know the latitude, the country and the number of inhabitants of many cities.

Elche is near Alicante in the Southeast.
