I'm not sure but people up north talk about it a lot.
Guessing the roads have no flavor and need salt, is what I'm thinking.
Looks good
At that age, it will need to be gone thru if they expect to daily drive it.
Lots of rubber parts, belts, hoses, tires, etc that may be old.

Well, here's the problem with those 2023 Accords that have a cool 204 horsepower.
Just now...this younger guy in a brand new one, white murdered out 2023 Accord.... kept flying by me, just driving like an idiot. He liked his car, that's cool. Welllllp we made it to a red light and he got his *** handed to him by the LX570... He tried to race once more from a roll but he got dusted again. Then he refused to engage, like a dog with a tail in between its legs.
How cool does he feel now when he got repeatedly smoked by a 2014 SUV in his brand new top of the line Accord? Lol.
They need to bring that 2.0T back and fast. That was a huge mistake, dropping it. I wouldn't mess with an Accord 2.0T unless I was driving the Mercedes.

I love your post. You didn’t even spin a tire. I can’t believe no more V8

if there's a kid trying to cross a completely sectioned off interstate with full street lighting at 1am then they've got bigger problems than my bi-weekly 3rd gear pull lol... i can't react to a pothole at those speeds either, hence why i have "my spot" where i know the road is smooth with no other converging traffic... on the handful of cases i haven't stuck to that like if i'm trying to make a video there's literally been a spotter with a walkie talkie
but i'll make you a deal steve, get me a seat on the toyota gazoo racing team and i'll happily put a rain check on the bi-weekly 3rd gear pull until then it's I-495 westbound between exits 40 and 39 (conditions permitting)

The easiest way to remember this IMO is to think of your paycheck. The vast majority of employees get paid either bi-weekly (every two weeks, typically every other Friday) or semi-monthly (twice a month, typically the 1st and 15th).

all this talk about pedestrian (and deer) road deaths reminds me of the podcast i just listened to.
it goes into all the reasons believed for why pedestrian deaths have skyrocketed recently in the u.s. (but not worldwide).

seems like a very short trip for such a massive area! but nice!!!

once every 2 weeks... twice a week would make the fuel bill too high for my tastes lol

i didn't know they dropped the 2.0T, that's a damn shame! either way the 9th gen accord is the last one that interested me, i think it looks just right for what it is and of course has the V6

The discontinued Accord 2.0T did 0-60 in 5.5 seconds and was called "too fast" by C&D, and no matter what gets said on this forum, I see a lot of them versus the base engine.
And yep, same crap with the Camry. It had a 303hp monster V6 gone for hybrid only.
Awful times.
