Yea, what's up with your Accord? Why another beater?

here is mine. Shitty mileage, but 0 to 60 is pretty quick. I beat a Jeep SRT8 last night. yea, whoopee. Its for sale: 29k miles for $35 grand.

It is not so much that I do not like it, it just doesn't have the soul my old S4 had. I had spent a lot of time and money on the old car, which really made it that way. I am not willing to do that to this car.

I have no clue what I would get.
