Fastnsx why do you even participate in this forum? Your the one that wants to argue about his Honda on a Mercedes Forum. I was justing trying to say that a Honda Accord will never be a collectable car, justa dependable daily driver. As far as respecting none German cars I own a 2005 Toyota Tundra and a 2000 Mercury Sable as my daily drivers. Both are fine auto's that I enjoy driving and would reccomend to anyone. Yea, an American car that drives and runs great, it's reliable, rides smooth and quiet. The Toyota pickup is one of the finest p/u trucks I've ever owned and performs whatever tasks I request of it without effort. Sure my Benz is old but it's a beautiful car that has real chrome, thick leather, and none of those worthless luxury options that do nothing but cause headaches after a few years. I participate in this Mercedes forum so I can educate myself on resolving and fixing problems that do occur on my "Mercedes". You on the other hand appear to only want to whine and cry about your problem car. I've put alot of time and effort into restoring my car and I don't mind getting my hands dirty doing it, I consider it a labor of love. I don't need nor do I want a expensive flashy car, and If I did it probably wouldn't be a Mercedes or any other European car.
