Why not?
A little history about the car. My parents are the original owners, but my mom drove the car the most. The car was bought in Germany and driven there for almost 2 years. YES, it's been on the autobahn, and YES my Dad pegged the speedometer (130+ mph).
Anyways, my parents drove the car until around 1998, when my mom got a new car. From then until 2004 when my older brother started to drive, the car sat in the garage for a couple of years, and then out in the street for a couple more, which is why it has relatively low miles to be a 20 year old car. My brother drove the car for a year, but did nothing to it but wear the clutch down, and I've been driving the car since 2005, slowly working on it.
This model Accord is not a popular platform to modify, but I've always wanted the car and I'm working with what I have. I'm the first to admit that's its not the quickest thing out there (its a Honda), but it is not slow by any means and is SO fun to drive, mostly because of its low curb weight and tight steering feel. Plus its reliable as hell, and i just got 32 mpg on my last tank of gas.
I'm working on a mod list, but for now here's some pics of its "stages" during my 4 years of ownership (well, from the time I bought my first camera). (from oldest to newest)
