Default Was in Accident LS is out of Commission. Got an Accord

I was in a Hit and Run a couple weeks ago, and the LS is still waiting to be looked at by insurance. No pics of the wreck yet (at shop). I wanted an IS but couldn't wait until the IS coupe comes out (or if it ever comes out). So I got a 08 Accord Coupe instead. I miss my LS, can't get the same ride quality out the Accord.

yeah Insurance is being a Pain in the ****. I really can't "drive" it yet still in a the break in period. But after that its "Vtec kicking in YO!." No just kidding, minimal rice please. Good luck with your LS, also.

Sorry to hear about the LS man. Hope it gets fixed pronto.

Someone did a hit and run on my front bumper at school. And it was parked in the Faculty/Staff lot. Damn professors.

the proper break in is a few runs to redline once the engine is up to operating temp. drive the car home and change the oil. and filter. change it again 500mi later.

you are now broken in properly.

I thought when you said wreck, I was expecting to see some pretty bad damage. That doesn't look that serious of an impact...

It's hard to compare the ride quality with the difference in wheel base and length of the LS. The Accord is pretty damn awesome with the Double wishbone and Multi Link suspension and the I-Vtech is even better now. It's a good car. Slam it.
