EDIT: It was time for change and the Accord is gone. I now have a 2008 RAV4 Limited V-6 in Blizzard White Pearl. After five years of Accord ownership I can still contribute here and glad to do so.

Thanks guys, it was a once in a lifetime deal that I couldn't pass up. (PSST, it also hauls ass! 0-60 in 6.4 ain't no slacker.)

^+1, always good to get some detailing knowledge off of you.  i know it's been said before, but whoever ends up with your sedan is one lucky S.O.B.

Great to have you back Rick.  Sorry to see the Accord go, but as I have mentioned earlier, whoever buys your old Accord is one lucky son of a bitch.  I definitely know that we can still gain from your experience and knowledge.  I would love to see you post up some of your detailing tips and techniques.

Ask and you will receive! I'll provide whatever help I can. And by the way, I'm not a dead tool as far as the 7th gen Accord goes you know, especially the four banger. Do I miss it? Yes I do but I made my decision on the new ride. The room, space, hauling & towing ability all made their impressions on me......not to mention it packs cheeks when requested to do so with the right pedal. My whole point is that it works for me. I'm not a traitor but found a car that works better for my particular uses. If Honda made a mini SUV with a V-6 I'd be driving it but they do not.

Well I was going to say YAY cause at least there's another red CM but I'm too late.
A welcome is never too late.
Welcome Rick.
I see no one here wants you leave so there's no need to.
