But you didn't pay the extra $1200.00 for repairs you didn't authorize, right?!?!?!?!

I changed the fluid and thought it felt better.
Is there a sensor that might cause this?
Check your tranny mounts.

Thanks guys but the pictures lie. Paint is pretty beat. Could use a paint correction but I give up on black. Would love to have the car resprayed in white.

I'm sure black is a hassle to keep clean but don't do white. Trust me.

I have the sedan v6 2007 in white this is the best color of this car but to keep it clean I have to clean the car weekly cause here on Puerto Rico we have always humidity an rain and the streets have to much dust but I love the white of this car so I have to be a slave of it....

My wife has a white MDX and it is much easier to keep nice-looking and it doesn't show any swirls. Plus I think white looks the best on the 7th gen Accord/ 3rd gen TL.

Added some blue Rays lugs yesterday.

Striking - that wheel color is perfect, car looks great but there is something that looks a tiny bit off. It is almost like the drop makes the wheels and spokes look tiny. Gorgeous none the less

FWIW - We just completed a 1182 mile round trip from MA to VA and back dropping my daughter off at school. Avg MPH = 66 MPH, Avg MPG - 32MPG. I was pretty happy. 09 Accord EX-L 4 banger.

Meh! Honda-Acura,same thing. Nice looking pair.

With the lease on my 12 Accord coming due in 11 months (and aside from pre-owned considerations) I'm torn between getting the EX and Sport. (....though the wife's desire for a sunroof may make this a foregone conclusion)

I liked how the Sport drove, though the EX-L is no slouch!

The features on the EX-L, including the blind spot camera will sell you on it.

I can finally post in here.

I just hit 3600 on my 13 WOP Accord.

I was going to get the EX-L but didn't want to pay that price with a kid coming as well. The blind spot assistance wasn't something that I needed to have

Do you have pictures from the accident? Car totaled or are you parting out for repairs?

car is totaled.

they are picking up the corpse today. all I kept were the wheels and lip kit since neither was damaged in the accident.


on the bright side, they paid me $500 more than I paid for the car 3 years ago lol.
i'll grab some pics of the car when I get home.

another 6spd bites the dust.
