Well i got my first real DD since 2005. Been DD-ing stick shift v8 mustangs since my 1st car.
My 97 was pretty much stock and was semi okay.
My 95 GT is not stock suspension wise and just sucks.
Picked up a old POS Accord to DD to work and A to B trips. So far its worlds better than DD-ing my mustang. Hitting bumps dont feel like the end of world. The sound of hitting bumps and bottoming out is gone. I can glide over exposed sewer caps on construction streets. I can drive right over road kill without touching it. Man i can't believe i didn't get a real DD a long time ago.
All this means is i can start modding the 5.0 engine since i have another car now and the mustang can be down and it wont effect me. Plus im taking all the stress off DD-ing the mustang because its wearing out parts everyday. I'll probably just make the mustang my weekend car or when i feel like driving it on good days.
Only thing i hate about this accord is the captive rotors.. WTF! Who puts the HUB outside the rotor and trap it in place for simple brake pad/rotor changes??
Thing has dents, paint oxidized. I never been so happy to have a crappy car. I dont have to protect it from grocery carts... i dont have to protect it from hail storms while its parked @ work. I dont have to wash it every weeks like the stang. The list goes on.
The mustang will become what i always wanted it to become. A better, faster car =]
