Buddy just bought a 16 maybe 17 srt charger...
Omfg!! He lowered it, wheels, tint, and exhaust. I couldn't get pics because it was at night, but that thing is a beast. The exhaust is so mean. When I took it on the freeway I opened it up. My eyes lit up and my penis got hard..

i agree with you on the calipers. They don't even match the rest of the red on the car. Like, they're two different shades. Not sure what color I'd do though. I'm also caught between a rock and a hard place- I'm annoyed about the reds not matching, but on the other hand, I don't want to screw with OEM goodness.

While the accord is nice and a great value for what you get, it's definitely no muscle car.

I'd skip on the srt and settle on the 392 scat pack. Save some dough. Still a nice car. Still will haul ass.
Or... buy a one year old car. Still has new car smell. You'll save a bunch though. Not that you're looking to buy, I assume, but just saying.

I'll take better pics this week. Maybe start a thread. Just sucks I can't post pics if the rear end, unless I edit them, due to a certain creepy fuck who likes to dig up too much info on people 
Those pics I posted yeterday were pretty brutal. I didn't realize the lighting was all messed up. I was in a rush to get outta there.

If I were getting a charger or challenger, there's no way I'd be able to get anything less than an SRT. I could live without a hellcat, but that's crazy...a muscle car kinda needs muscle, right?
I mean, live the dream within your dreams and all but I'd rather have the accord all decked out best they have to offer than something less than the balls out srt.

Flip, you would have came in the V. On that note..
Spent the afternoon wrenching on the beater Accord.. Started having 2nd gear shifting issues so went to check out all the solenoids out. Found one with a bunch of funk and the resistance was a little higher than spec'd so may have to buy a new one. Cleaned it and let's see how it holds up. Attachment 37862

I learned that early on...
maybe it stems from my hs buddy's always making fun of anyone with a suped-up 4 cylinder fox body.
Or my regretting settling on an LX and not an EX 1997 accord. I would see ex with leather and nicer exhaust and wheels and thought, I will never have trim level envy again.
The ONLY caveat is something like the hellcat which pushes a car into pricing territory that seems ridiculous. In that case, SRT is good enough for me although I'd still have envy when I'd see one, gotta know when to hold 'em and know when to fold 'em!

Buy a LX, install EX badges. Profit.
Buy a I4, add V6 badges. Double profit.
Buy a gas motor, add hybrid badges. Cry in a corner.
Buy an Accord, install RLX-SH badges. Get prescription for Viagra.

Interesting...apparently, a Canadian whiskey won the Whiskey of the Year according to booze-guru, Jim Murray...Crazy enough is that there was some stock at a local wine/spirits shop...Sold out pretty much everywhere though.
Still, a $40 Crown Royal...WotY...? Gonna try it shortly.

I'll say this...after a couple of sips over some chilled whiskey stones, this is actually darn good for a $40 bottle. And I'm not even letting the "hype" get to me...but, for what I paid, this could easily pass for something that sells for $200.
