I am in the north-east (?) think corner of AL. Near Centre, which is equidistant 100 mi from Atlanta, 100 mi from B'ham. I am also equidistant from three Honda dealers, come to think of it. I grew up in South GA, and got my 2000 Accord SE in Waycross, where US1 is flat and straight and 4-laned all the way to Jax, FL! Gas was 69.9, and I would drive out to the Okefenokee Swamp Park just to hear that VTEC!!! (traded in a Toyota Tercel) We won't discuss my V-6. I am being pretty sedate with no. 3, at least until break-in. My DH calls me a computer geek and a car geek and says Accord owners are weird. (Uh huh, he had a 1988 Accord Lx-i stick-shift with 250,000 miles on it. I used to swing by Troy's Used Honda Parts outside Tuscaloosa and pick up parts on my way home from UA grad school.)
