Well, actually I've been on here for almost 7 months. But I registered at the end of May, and this is the beginning of December.

I'm going to be 21 in 3 months, March 12th to be precise. I'm in college, trying to survive the prerequisites, I'm going for my associates in accounting, and then planning on transfering to Seattle Pacific University.

I am from a Honda family, I feel like it's in my blood. My parents have been buying Honda's since the 1970's. We've bought all of our Honda's from Klein Honda in Everett. My parents are friends with Steve Klein, the owner.

We've owned a first gen Civic (while waiting for the Accord), a first gen Accord, a second gen Accord, a fourth gen Accord, a sixth gen Accord, a seventh gen Accord, and a first gen Odyssey. My dad has also owned at least three Honda motorcycles. His current one is a 1986 Honda Goldwing Aspencade Se-i. All of our Honda's, except for the sixth gen Accord and the first gen Odyssey, have been manual transmission.

My mom currently wants to replace her 6th gen because she hates it. She's considering a new Civic sedan MT or a Honda Fit MT. She hates the Accord because it's black, an automatic, and cursed. My dad wants the Ridgeline, but he wishes it were available in a manual. (Although there may be talks of Honda trying to make a manual transmission for their AWD vehicles)

I love Honda's and Subaru's. The Honda thing is from my loyalty and blood, the Subaru thing is from hanging around the Subaru crowd, cuz they're cooler than the Honda crowd in this area.

I currently work as a file clerk at KarMart in Burlington, Washington. KarMart is made up of Chrysler, Dodge, Volkswagen, Mitsubishi, Nissan, and Suzuki. I wish I worked at Klein Honda, but nobody ever quits.

I like horses, swimming, reading, photography, driving, etc.

I live in Lake Stevens, Washington, which is about an hour north-north east of Seattle. I've lived in the same house all of my life.

I started to really get into cars back in February 1999, when we took the van in for service, and I saw a Flamenco Black Pearl Honda Civic coupe Si (fully loaded) sitting on the showroom floor. Up until spring 2005 I wanted an Electron Blue Pearl Honda Civic coupe Si. Then I realized that I'd probably grow/mature out of the Civic too quickly, so I started looking at the Accord's. From May 2005 I've wanted a Sapphire Blue Pearl Honda Accord coupe EX V6 6MT. This past May I was able to buy my dream car.

And that's long enough for right now.

Nice Amanda.

I've also been an all Honda guy. One day I hope to be an engineer for them, but that's not going to be in the near future.

Hi, Amanda. I live in Seattle and got my car at Honda of Fife. This is my first Honda product.

Before this I drove

91-2000-Toyota Corolla Wagon
2000-2001-Mitsubishi Galant
2001-2005-Ford Focus ZX3 Hatch
2005-Mazda6 V6 Mt

Needless to say my Accord is the best car I've had. The powertrain and excellent V6 is my number 1 favorite thing about the car. I've always heard that Honda has excellent manuals and boy is that ever true.

In the summer I ride a Yamaha Majesty scooter :)
