Everyone likes to look at the legends, but admiring what you have already is the key to happiness. This is my 6th gen Honda Accord, the first V6 model. It only puts out 160 WHP and 155 lb/ft of WTQ, but it has enough acceleration to put you back in your seat and is fast enough to pass everyone on the highway. Most importantly though, it’s mine.

What other “normal” cars do you think are under appreciated?

when i drove my beamer for the first time… it was over. the responsiveness of both the steering and accelerator, matched with all the creature comforts (even in a 30+ year old vehicle!) and classic styling… have owned an e30 that i stupidly got rid of, and now an e34, looking at purchasing a new (to me) e83 x3. truly, the bmw is the ultimate driving machine.

(psa if you are not rich or willing to turn wrenches often, they may not be the wisest choice…)

BMW has always been a car brand that both feels very refined and yet seemingly always doomed to failure somehow. Very much vibes of “live fast and leave a pretty corpse” haha

That said, I was passed by a BMW on the highway the other day and the thrill of trying to keep up and admiring it the whole way was beautiful
