Default sold a VW bought a Honda

up untill about 3 months ago i hated hondas and never thought i would drive one. since then i grew up and realized how good they really are with their reliability, engine interchangeability, vtec and what not. unlike my GTI my dads 1995 honda accord has been an extremely good car. the car looks like sh** right now it has been in a few minor accidents, the bumper and corner light are held on with duct tape, and its an ugly maroon color. my dad and i agreed on $600 for the car and ive been planning some stuff for this beast.... let me know what you think

There's a five spoke "sawtooth" rim which will fit the Accord.
Look for rims from the '94 Prelude.
15x6.5" 114 bolt pattern

tell your homies that drive the dubs a former vdub driver saw the truth and they should too. be sure to ask them why their vr6s only have 176hp when a honda 4 banger has 200 stock... haha

its funny.. I go to csulb.. we had a field trip where we get to visit the place where my instructor works so alot of people car pooled.. I asked him if he want to carpool with me and he agreed. I have a 97 civic hatch with a k20a2. I asked him if he wanted to drive it he said sure.. he drove it and he was so amazed at the power.. he told me that from that day forward his perception of hondas and 4 cylinders engine changed..
