I currently drive a 2008 Honda Accord Coupe EX-L V6 with a 6-speed manual transmission.

It is almost completely unmodded; I installed a bluetooth radio module that connects to the CD changer, but that's it (for now). I bought it in August '24, and intend to keep it as long as possible. I plan to do all my own repairs (within reason), which should help build mechanical knowledge and intuition, in addition to helping with budgeting.
