Sorry for the delay...But I would like to extend a thanks to Bill for winning ROTM. I, along with a few others, got to see this car in person a few weeks ago. I can say that it is in immaculate shape. His accord definitely deserves to be Ride of the Month. So congrats on behalf of the 6thgen members and staff Bill!!!

Re: Aug/Sept ROTM winner "BlackDeathV6BG"

1. Is this your first car?
-Yes.

2. How did you end up with the Accord?
-I've had the accord since spring of 03. I bought it with 33,000 on it for about 16K. I was looking for an automobile that was reliable, affordable, & comfortable all-in-one. So I chose the Accord.

3. When did you first start modifying cars?
-About a month after I bought the car. That was when I didn't know what I was doing at the time.

4. Did you run into any problems along the way when you were modifying stuff?
-Some here and there but nothing too hectic. The first problem modification I ran into was a set of eBay projector headlights. For some reason, they didn't fit because they were too skinny. Next, the headers did not bolt up correctly and we had to drill holes in it to line up to the mounting points and the occasional replacing parts with upgraded ones, and so on...

5. Why do you do it? Why not leave it stock?
-The love for cars and getting your hands dirty to learn how to install or disassemble things on your own. When you modify a car it’s similar to being an artist with an arsenal of tools to create your own work of art. It’s my hobby and my life.

6. What other modifications do you have planned for the car?
-See mod list.

7. Any other cars you're tinkering with?
-My daily is a 2008 CR-V. I'm also thinking of buying a 93-94 Nissan 240SX as a project car

8. What's your favorite thing about your car, specifically? Which money do you feel was your best investment?
-Probably the new finish on my wheels. I just love how they contrast with the black paint and no one else has a set of WORK Equips like these. I would say my best investment was probably calling every Honda dealership in the US and finding only 2 places that had brand new OEM sides and a rear valance to complete the lip kit. Also selling/trading my 02 F&R bumpers for 98-00 bumpers to make it fit. Without that kit, the car would look totally different.

9. Is there anybody you would like to credit or thank for helping you along the way?
-I would like to say thanks to my parents especially, Tek!, Dave Tormey and his father, Jetta John, Keith(Keychain), Steve(IcyAccord), Kevin(Doctor X), MoneyPit, Eric(Changaroo), Eric(00accord4cyl), Dinzdale40, Automotive Training Center, Duie's Body Shop, the V6P community, 6thgen community, and everyone else who helped me along the way! Thanks for the support!
