Default Yeah, cheaper than you can imagine as well.

It's just something to play around with.

The accord is a good choice. Seems logical.

Default I had a 1990 cherokee.....

I-6 4.0 5 speed
had a 3" lift 31x10.5
snorkel intake
dynomax exhaust
no cat

rest was preetty much stock, i beat the b-jesus out of it daily, and nightly, I out-wheeled many-a ford rangers with big lifts, K5 blazer with 44s (too big) few S-10s including one ZX2 package...no turning radius.

the days when jeeps were jeeps, now they are Mercedes-Dodges if mercedes ever ruined a vehicle it have to be the grand cherokee IMO...pop the hood n theres a hemi??? wtf?

Default I don't know.

Seeing how much money you have in that thing, I would suspect a few thousand more to get a daily would be a good move. It may seem financially irresponsible now, but if the cards hold any suprises for you out in VA , you might be happy you did it. Food for thought.

Default ya know...thats really good thinking

esp with as tempramental (spelled wrong)...i could probably put down a grand or so and not worry, then if i find the car cheap enough, not have bad payments to make. maybe i'll start looking around
