hehe.. yea.. its in San Jose... about 30 miles from me...
basically i see no point in driving my s2k everyday.. yea its fun... but racking up miles for no purpose doesn't make sense for me...
so i was gonna use my beater to go to-from work... and drive my s2k on weekends... at the same time I save money on insurance, because I'll switch the s2k to a "pleasure-use" weekend car, so I pay less... and ill add the old beater (which im sure the premium will be low), and with 2 cars on my policy I will benefit from a multiple car discount... so the beater should pay for itself as long as it doesnt break down right away...

bean, that free accord looks super-clean. the body looks straight and in superb condition. i wonder if the interior is falling apart?
anyway, keep us updated about the $500 accord. you should keep the free one and make it into your track car - or one hell of a beater. it's free so you can do anything you want with it!
did you see that vid where those college guys converted a full-size car to remote control?
