Toyota and Honda builds good, reliable transportation. I just wish they weren't so boring to drive.

The V6 Honda Accord develops about 290 hp and does 0 to 60 in a bit
over 6 seconds. Nothing boring about that.


To me there's more to driving than going in a straight line.

I understand but twisty roads are hard to find in Florida. :-)


Other than renting time on a track, there's really nowhere to drive a
high performance, road hugging car anymore. When I bought the BMW M5,
the purchase included time on a track somewhere down south ... one of
the Carolina's I think. I never took advantage of it. One of the
reasons I liked the Porsche more was that even at 30 mph on narrow back
roads, it still felt like a sports car. But again, there are really no
places to drive it to it's potential without either risking yourself,
others or ending up in the clink.
