I'm still driving my first car, an '89 Honda Accord 5-speed! My mom refused to give a 16-year-old a new car, so she got the new Accord, and I had to learn to drive a stick (a difficult thing to do in hilly East Tennessee).

Eight years later at 190,000 miles, it's been resuscitated from the dead at least 3 times. My dad and I refuse to let it go. Both of us are convinced that the '89 and '90 Accord models will be classics one day. It runs great and is amazingly efficient.

My friends like to bug me about when I'll get a new car. I always reply, "When Honda brings back flip-up headlights."

Why? What separates them from other Accords?

LOL when I taught my daughters to drive I used hi-way 61 from Maynardville to Andersonville. I told them if you can drive a car on this road you can drive anywhere. My first wife learned to drive on that road to. I had her driving a 5 speed Toyota :>}
