Well, got nothing else to really to talk about, so here's my car!
i purchased it back in 2019 when i was 16, had just shy of 20k miles on it when i purchased it pre-owned (hell of a lot cheaper then new, 16k OTD vs 30k for the "new" generation one, wish that was true now lol) i had got been saving up since i was 12 for it (well, it was for a GTR, but this is close enough) and paid cash!
its a base model accord coupe with the 2.4 and the cvt, gets 35-40mpg when i dont drive like a jackass, insurance is cheap as well (for a new car that is) Maintenance is dead simple and affordable (i do a oil change every 10k, and cvt fluid change at 20k) with just shy of 50k miles on it ive had ZERO issues with it (with my driving that's very surprising lol)
Recently had some issues with the HOA about my "automotive maintenance in the driveway" so i ended up finally getting a sweet set of jackstands and a 3 ton dayton floor jack.
Also decided to purchase some dedicated winter tires since i had gotten stuck a few times last winter (mn is brutal up here, especially with the low ground clearance and summer orientated all terrains ive got on it)
they had a 110$ rebate as well as free shipping on orders over 400$, normally the Michelin x-ice snow tires would of costed me 750$+tax, i ended up getting em for 480$+tax! so that a win!
still deciding if i should get some separate rims or just switch out the tires every 6 months.
