Man this wasn't the future I had in my mind. I remember I was looking to get an NA1 NSX right before COVID hit when they were 45k or an E60 M5 6MT when they were 25k (plus anoth 25k for 6.0 stoker build). I can't justify the 70k going rate for an NSX and somehow people realized the M5 was horribly undervalued. I've been priced out of dream cars and housing now
.The CL-S swapped Accord and a 3G TL-S were my attainable dream cars coming out of high school, so I'm content with driving both of these for the rest of my foreseeable future.
Glad to see you striving to keep the Accord roadworthy! The Works should look sweet once they're back on the car. I should probably update my ride thread soon lol......

This is what has kept me in my Accord for so long, lol.

Save the manuals
Changed the MTF and engine oil yesterday. Noticed considerable cracking on the inside of the driver front tire. I didn't even bother looking at the rest of them, they're all getting replaced I guess.
Power steering fluid leak sure made a mess. I should have addressed that sooner, I drove it with that issue for too long. I cleaned things up a bit.
The car went too long without being registered, so sadly I had to retire my original plates from when I bought it in 2007. The new plate is so ugly, has too much crap on it and I hate it. May look for a different option next time around.
Amazingly, all the LED's everywhere are working...
It's like going back in time, haha.
I think it's still a good looking car. The rear end will always be one of my favorite designs ever. And I also like that it actually has a front bumper, I can't stand how many new cars these days just have giant gaping mouths.
You said it. Not what I imagined either. It's like by the time we can actually afford our dream cars and what they costed for the longest time, they appreciate beyond reasonable affordability. And the money people want for cars with 100k, 120k miles these days is insane in my mind.
Housing market is even worse, I feel for you and and everyone getting screwed by that whole mess. All these trusts and corporations should have never been allowed to buy up so many family homes.
Keep hoping some of this stuff will return to "normality" but it feels like this is just the new norm, and the people living in this age just have to suck it up and live with it.
My wife's grandmother used to always say happiness is being content with what you have. I know that is probably true, but it is hard to feel "okay with settling" if that makes sense. At least we already have something we love, right.
And yes, you should!

Thanks. So much of what makes that car what it is is becoming rarer and rarer in cars these days, and may eventually be extinct. Definitely helps me appreciate it more.
And yes, you should!
