Why Not. VTec Can't Lose, Right?

I've owned a lot of cars already. A 432whp 2002 Camaro Z28, a T3/T4 Powered Ford Probe GT (yes, I know, bad idea..), 2003 Mustang GT (least favorite car of all time), but I decided it was time to stop blowing money on cars and get something practical so I can enjoy my other hobbies. After all, I am kind of outdoorsy, skiing regularly and having spent months on the trail in New Mexico, New England, and in a few European countries. So I picked up this 2003 Honda Accord. Perfect for my ski trips and hiking adventures.

My friends response to selling the monster Z28? Well, surprise, mainly, though my buddy Gus said "I won't last until spring without buying another car."

So Spring rolls around and inevitably the snow melts, the ski slopes close, and I'm left with the oncoming warm weather driving a 160hp Accord. Not only was I depressed about it, but when Gus Lin approached me about the 2007 autocross season, I told him that I was so there, but that I WASN'T buying another car. "No. No way, I'm saving for a house. Practicality is key. I'm in school for my masters!" So I agreed to enter my Accord into the Fairfield Country Rookie School and the 1st points event on March 25th.
