Tell the world a little bit about your vehicle
New 2008 Honda to replace my 2004 Acura RSX. I learned that I shouldn't drive smaller cars and needed a larger car to settle my driving style. But of course upgrading from 4-cyl to a 6-cyl only changed my style from zipping through traffic to blasting through traffic.

Engine/Drivetrain Modifications:
Stock

Suspension Modifications:
Stock

Wheels/Tires Modifications:
Stock

Interior/Exterior Modifications:
Changed stock interior lighting to a deep blue LED lighting. Helped with nightvision and also provided added security with an inability to see through the tint on the windows (30% on sides, 5% on rear) due to reduced illumination.

Future Modifications:
R.I.P. - Oct 29, 2012 (Hurricane Sandy)

There will be no more mods for my fallen Accord. Read more ยป

My poor 2008 Acccord EX-L took 4 feet of water during Hurricane Sandy. My wife and I heard our cars crying out as the water short circuited them in the driveway. We checked on them the next morning and just found dead shells of our babies. *sob*

Thanks to Honda's safety features, the trunk and windows opened... I can only guess my Accord thought it was driven into a lake or something and tried to save the passengers. All it ended up doing was releasing my spare tire and the foam tray with the jack in the trunk.
