*almost ;-)
Here is my 1987 Honda Accord LX, in Winnipeg, MB, Canada. This baby has survived each harsh Winnipeg Winter, and is still going stronger than ever.

The 2 rust spots shown are both above the rear wheel wells. I was able to get some touch up paint from a local auto body shop, as a temporary fix, but its getting pretty bad, i will likley have to get the car sanded and repainted - likley those 2 spots will need to be cut out.
The interior could use a good vaccum, clearly, but it is in good shape none the less. The engine could use an engine wash. The engine has very little rust on it, i tryed to get a good pic of it, but it was kinda tricky.
Sorry, the picture of my Alpine speakers didn't turn out too well, did my best to get in the trunk and get a pic of them.
Those bass lights are going to come out soon, it was fun to drive around with them at night, but i think i have had enough of them, and the aweful wiring job i did just looks bad.
Sorry, the pic didn't turn out great, but it reads 181,386.8 KM .
Hope you enjoy my LX, no mods on it to bout about, but its mostly origional honda parts, and running great.

Thanks alot gents. I work hard trying to keep that baby in good shape, usualy wash it twice a week through the winter the salt/sand on the roads likes to eat cars alive.
i don't have any plans to tune it up or anything, i will likeley get the tranny fluid changed before winter, with tranny filter etc. As well, there is a very small hole in my muffler, i will likey get a new one put on as soon as i got a few extra bucks to throw around... I started University this year, so I am trying to pay off all of that still. When i am done university and all that, i will likley finance a 200? Accord so i can have 2 :)
