Talk about cars here.
What are you driving?
What have you done to it?
How fast can you do an oil change?
What brand of wax are you using lately?

I'm currently torn on what to get for my next daily driver.
The Accord works great for a daily commute, grocery getter but not the greatest for road trips so time for something new.

I've been leaning torwards an RSX:

But for just a little more I could get a TSX:

Or if I wait just a little longer the TL's can come down into my price range:

Still plan on keeping my Teg around for sunny weekends, AutoX events and track days.

... and Photoshoots

No, but it will probably be as lame as this one.

:lol:

all I can add is that your paint job looks way better in the second pic of your car. In the first pic it looks very matte.

Yea the 2nd one is after a good wash, and a wax job. Possibly clay bar treatment then as well.

The 1st was probably a few days after a normal wash and being a nice day it was sort of impromptu. I think my exposure was a little too high on the first one. 2nd one the exposure is a little too dark.

Why isn't the accord good for road trips? I'm sure it gets good gas mileage.

So I have a Mazda 3. And I haven't done anything to it but change the oil and put new tires on. I want to tint the windows though. And that's about it because it makes me very happy.

I had a '96 Saturn SL2. Dark green. Twin cam. Could kick some ass for a car with 128k miles.

Got stolen though. So now I am without car.

I do have rollerblades packed away somewhere though.

After 211k miles it has a pretty mean vibration to it around 65 - 70 mph
I'm looking to swap some wheels on it this summer to see if it improves any. Even though they've been balanced it still feels like they are not.

Even though I've replaced the pads and bled the brakes I can still stop faster by hanging a pillow case out the window.

No CD player in it so finding a decent radio station when your in BFE Ohio or anywhere else for that matter doesn't happen. That and the Kenwoods I put in the back 10 years ago have both gone to crap.


If I a Mazda 3 fell into my lap at a great price I wouldn't turn it down.
But Hondas/Acuras are what I know best.

As much of a car guy I am, I've never been one to give a car a womans name.

Or any persons name for that matter.

Whats your car named?

I rarely allow food or any liquids in my car.

I supose I could make an exception for special sauce though.
