Default Moving Over from Accord to Civic

Not immediately, I still have a year on the Accord lease. Just last week I bought a 2012 Civic for my wife's daily driver. It takes over the role formerly performed by my beloved Chevy Suburban. When the lease is up, I'll be replacing the truck (blown engine) instead of purchasing the Accord. The Accord and Suburban are simply the two best vehicles I've ever owned and I will definitely miss the truck. I'd have used it as my daily if the wife could be trusted with the manual tranny on the Accord.

The new Civic is a black pearl coupe but don't ask the model specs until my next post since I'll need to locate all my documentation. Be advised, though, this week and later this month will see some added improvements including window tints and 18" wheels.

The members of the driveaccord.net forum have been so very helpful and supportive between the things I've learned and those I've purchased. I don't know what these last few years would have been like without them and I'm looking forward to several years as a member of this online community.

Here's the first pic of the wife's new whip.

I may do some other personalization upgrades including foglights, blackout lights and possibly ground FX body kit.

I already have the rims, just looking for the correct set of rubber.

Welcome to the forum!

I am interested to see what the wheels will look like once on the car!

I'll get to those requests right away. While I'm compiling the requested information and composing an annotated reply, please provide some additional information so that my responses can be as thorough as possible.

As for question number one, may I ask why you need that information? Continuing to question number two, what is the reason and for how long has Google been unavailable to you? Following up on the "more appealing" aspect, exactly to who's complaint would I'd be responding?

Dude, it's his car. He can do whatever he wants to it. You're entitled to your opinions but you don't have to share all of them.

That had nothing to do with the wheel size comment...But more of the comment about black out compliancy. Its his style and can do what ever he wants to. Leave the guy alone and just move
