Hey Guys

Hey guys. I haven't been on TMS for a long time so I decided to stop by and see how everything is going. Since I have last been on, 2 of my friends have got mustangs. One of them has a 2004 v6 40th anniv. edition in a beautiful dark shadow gray. The other one has a black 1988 gt convertible with a custom s/c'd 302 race motor and many mods. It has well over 500hp and it sounds killer. I have not managed to get a mustang yet, but i did get a new car today. It's a 2007 Honda Accord LX 5-Speed. Yea, yea, i know everyone is gonna bash me for having a v-tec but its actually a pretty nice car.

Congrats on the new car, but just out of curiosity, why a fullish size family sedan? Don't get me wrong, the Accord is a great car, but you shoulda gone for a Mazda3...

lmao. i just love how the accord drives. it shifts smooth and has good acceleration and is just an all around good bang for your buck. i was lookin at a 2003 mustang gt, but it had 100,000 miles so i decided against it. according to the owner's manual, the engine puts out 166 hp.

Downside of the Accord is all the cheap plastic in the interior.

166 hp? LOL, you need some stickers to fix that. Just kidding! Rather have one of those than a Camry.
