You know you're an accord owner when you have to do the O-Ring trick on your ABS unit.

I was doing some valet parking and this old guy had a 92 brown Accord with 43,000 miles on it!!!! He said he wanted to get a new accord because he loves them but realized his is still literally brand new

- You say to yourself "Its a miracle" when you see an Accord in a magazine

- Whenever you read something, somehow anything with "Accord" pops out even when you aren't to that line/paragraph

- People ask why you would modify an Accord and you don't really have a good answer other than, "At least its not another civic?"

- You have 3 sets of corner lights

- You are afraid to turn the temperature **** when its cold outside b/c it might break

you go to the junkyard because you broke your clock/ inner door handle/ cup holder and you cannot find an intact one.

you get excited to see oem foglights on an accord.

your power antenna that has been broken since 1997 makes god awful noises when you turn your key on or off.

you cant hear your horn over the road noise when youre on the highway.

you have to put all of your windows down and sit for a while before starting your car on a hot day because your main relay is crapping out.

your drivers door latch seized up and you cant open it from the inside or outside and have to enter or exit your car through the passenger door.

- when you're considering putting new quarter panels on your 90 LX with almost 300,000 miles
- when you check cars.com, ebay, and craigslist every day just to see if there is another low mileage, rust free 4th gen available in case you, your wife, or daughters wrecks one of your 4 Accords beyond repair
- when you almost cry in salvage yards at all the Accords that look like they could have been repaired (or look better than the one you're driving!)

-when you know how to use your tach to measure how fast your going because your speedometer works when it wants to
-when you feel really bad when you see an old couple driving a 2000 v6 because you know the tranny is gonna go pretty soon.

You know you are an accord owner when...

-you spend more time at work on this forum than actually working.
-you are just waiting to order your OEM fog light switch from T.A.S. until you can find a pair of those damn OEM fogs.

Or also the opposite, you wonder if they've done it the cheap way and tried to cover it up.

So true... mine is still broken. I would fix it but its like the 4th one and I barely use that ****!

My friends laugh when I take off the plastic **** and just move the metal rod behind it.

Yeah well when you are constantly having to throw money elsewhere and looking to buy another car, the idea kinda gets thrown on the back burner. Trust me, I would if I had the time and money to go ROH AND get rear discs.

-when you have that little gap in the centre console
-when you can pass a civic on an uphill climb because you have torque
-when you have the only honda car that can tow a trailer without worry
-when you would love to have the k-swap, realistically knowing to the h-swap, and usually end up boosting the f22
-when you can seat four 6' foot tall guys in your, comfortably, and can take all their golf clubs to the course
-you know that it handle in the snow way better then the civics because of its extra weight
-when you can see one anytime to watch a show or movie you point it out to anyone else in the room

You know your an 90-93 accord owner when

-You do a blue book of it and it says N/A , but fair condition is 300$
-Your rear quarters are rusted , door handles broke , power antenna is gone , interior is missing more bits then an old jigsaw puzzle.
-But most of all , when you bought it ten years ago , gave it to the family , gone through 3 or 4 cars in between , and end up coming back to it to fine it still runs fine.
