I had a '90 something Civic. It had about 70,000 miles when I got it, but the speedo didn't always work, and eventually quit, so I don't actually know how much I put on it. They aren't boring, give yourself some credit. And you can leave it with the keys in it, because nobody drives a shift anymore.
