That's why it's called platform sharing.

Not my Accord - just a test drive TypeS.

I was trying to be considerate and not abuse the demo car - it only had a couple hundred km on the odo.

Since we have PWin and some RWin can we have MWin (milage whoring) or in the case of the sauceman, KMWin (km whoring):

Will this become the MW thread?

Anyone out there who thinks they have anything close to the sauceman's numbers post those pics of the ODO.

Please don't bother with photochoped ODO pics.

Who cares about high mileage worrying. These cars will go 200k miles no problem.

With the AC off, the windows rolled up, and probably no audio to conserve even more power, right?
