Well I never thought that I'd own a white car, never mind a freakin' Accord but here I am. I've had my 6-6 for about
3 1/2 months and while I initially had some major second thoughts, I've warmed up to it quite a bit. I've had quite
the range of vehicles over the past few years including: 98 Z28 6 speed (full bolt on's) 95 GT 5.0 and most recently
an 09 Civic Si (hondata, k&n typhoon.) It's a great well rounded car that it comfortable, incognito, smooth shifter
and a screaming V6. What's not to love? All it needs now is a Borla axle back and I'll be happy :devil

As far as I can tell (I had one but with AT) it's the only street legal sports car in N. America. The longer you have it, the more you'll like it. And you're SO right about that screaming V6. Keep the fluids fresh, follow the maintenance in the owners manual and you got a rockin' car for a long time.

^Thanks! I certainly appreciate the smooth ride on our frost heaved roads. It's sporty but I'm sure a strut/sway upgrade along with some decent tires
would really liven it up. I guess coming from a Civic Si, I miss the stop on a dime brakes and unbelievable fwd handling. But the longer I have this car,
the more I realize what the original intent was from Honda. It does what it does really well. It's a sedate highway cruiser and a quasi-fwd muscle car
when you put the pedal down. There is something inherently fun about passing someone @ 6800 rpm in an innocuous looking white coupe. It never
fails to make me smile.

i love how the v6 coupes go under the radar, people don't ever expect a big accord to move.
Totally. A newer 535i xdrive figured that out in Mexico yesterday. The look on people's faces is priceless. Added a k&n drop in filter and was pleasantly surprised. Gives it a little bit more of a growl. Anyone here install these reverse light smoked overlays? I think that they look excellent.

Nice car man! Love the white orchid pearl. Wish they would have offered that here in California. I had to choose between black/red/ or gray...gray won the battle. I was honestly just happy to find a '17 V6-6 coupe, lol. I'm still grinning from ear to ear when I drive.
