Haha... When I built the house, I only had a couple day window to do the garage floor. It came down to professional epoxy for ~$3k or buy couple gallons of epoxy at big box and DIY. Obviously chose the latter. 6 years later it’s still mostly intact, but nowhere near pro level of finish (few chips here and there).
then years later (mine worn with bits missing) saw a client's garage and got in touch with who did theirs.

Problem for me would be getting the garage empty right now. Barely enough room to walk across - tools sitting on top of tools since the wire rack shelves are full of .... tools 🤦♂️.

Kinda proud of myself that i've only bought a fraction of what i took out back into the garage... feels a lot better.

Agree. Accord redesign tweaks do not make it's pig snout any prettier.
A good question is how is it possible they are achieving good yearly sales numbers with it?
Could the answer lie in being a more affordable price range (under 40k) and a nice line up of car options between $20-40k? Any vehicle over $40k means a much smaller population pool of buyers and an explosion of choices to pick from.

I had an Uber ride recently in Toronto. I do see the appeal in the Accord, they have changed the feel of it. It used to be more boring, more appliance like, but the new model felt more of a driver type car (whether true or not) Felt louder, more involving. Felt like it handled better. This was in contrast to the drive into where I was going, I was in a Sonata, was very nice, more quiet, but far less interesting or involving.

Accords are a better buy for sure. They Camry looks better than the Accord and the V6 is a better option even though it's a tad slower. The Accord interior is nicer though but the exterior isn't as nice.

I like the exterior of the Accord. Interior too. Not a fan of the exterior of the Sonata, but the layout was pretty well set up.

What a cluster duck this whole process is turning into.... After signing the paperwork and taking the car home on Friday, I get a call on Saturday stating that there’s a problem with financing (ha!) and I need to come in. I told them fine, I’ll stop by on Monday.
Long story short - they claim they applied a “dealer cash” rebate to the negotiated price incorrectly (leases don’t qualify for dealer cash) and they’re losing $2k on the deal, “We need to redo the paperwork”. I told them - heck no, I bought for X and not X+ $2000. Hey even offered to eat $1k, but I politely declined. They want the car back, but I’m fairly certain that legally, I don’t have to return it.
This is such bs... To be continued...😨😨😨
