Just the sound of the cam as I roll into the gas station thrills everyone around me. Those are the kind of things that a new car will never do. It certainly won't be 'special' when they are on every corner, nor will anyone appreciate the fact that it was painstakingly hand built like a PT car.

Of course, the trade-off is a care-free ownership experience with the new one....but that's what Accords are for.
Very well stated...could not have said it better myself.
