So back in around the winter of 2011 I was looking for new and better transportation for work and school. I was in my last semester of High School and I realized my '91 S-10 just wasn't the right vehicle for me it was just too old and too beat. So the car search began, I was in search for all different types of cars, I was all over Craigslist and driving all over Tucson and Phoenix looking for better transportation. Couldn't find anything. Until January of 2012 when my dad came across a '98 Accord. I was never really fond of Honda so I kinda ignored him until i saw the car in person... I was speechless I knew it was mildly modified wider tires, aftermarket wheels, lowering springs, etc. When my dad told me the price I was blown away $4500... only 70k miles too. I have slowly grown to the Accord and I really enjoy it a lot. More recently I have gained much interest into putting more money into and making it more personal. Pretty much bone stock for now... also still haven't broken 100k miles currently at 97k

So on facebook in Febuary of last year I came across a contest by Koni the were giving away a set of their STR.T shocks for both 6th and I believe 7th Gen Accords. All I had to do was send in a photo of my car and a short paragraph on why I believe I should have won, and believe it or not I won the shocks for the 6th gen!
