Right now I'm deep in the hunt for a new daily driver, a car that will be used to get me to events all over California and beyond. As nice as tons of horsepower and awesome handling are, sometimes those things have to take a back seat (literally) to practicality and comfort. Luckily that doesn't mean you have to say goodbye to having good style. I used to drive a CE1 Honda Accord Wagon, and it was one of my favorite cars I've ever had. It's roomy, good on gas, and can still look bitchin' with just a few changes. It really makes me wish Honda still sold the Accord Wagon in the USA.
I guess being surrounded by all the cool vans and wagons in Japan has really rubbed off on me. The wife likes these kinds of cars as well, so I've been scouring classified ads looking for a proper "Speedhunting-mobile". Now I just need to convince my wife that nervously avoiding speedbumps and dodging potholes is a necessary part of everyday driving…
This slammed Accord Wagon is another find from Minkara, Japan's endless source for all things automotive.
