oh, but it's then be a giant theft magnet.

I saw one on Craigslist a couple weeks ago. It wasn't in the best of shape but me likey.

I'd be living like a rockstar with a vette and some JDM at the crib. :lol:

I need to check out Accord mileage. I could definitley sacrifice a little MPG for the added size / convenience.

EDIT: and if you are dead set on doing that commute, you might consider buying something newer with low miles. It's hard to keep any older car on the road when you are driving that much, and it's hard to keep a job when your car is breaking down constantly on the way to work.

This must be part of the training program at CSC: Being asked for one thing and giving practically a non sequitur as a response.
