On the way home from grocery shopping last night, someone decides that
they didn't want to yield when turning left with their Rav 4 and I
believe that may be the final drive for my 2007 Accord. The frame is
shot on my driver's side, and the engine was tilted about 10 to 15
degrees towards the firewall.

Anyhow, since I am semi-laid up, what vehicles would you recommend me
looking into, Honda or otherwise? Within walking distance of my house I
have the following brands available: Cadillac, Honda, BMW, and
Mecerdes. I am not opposed to something else, yet I don't want to have
to drive 15 minutes or longer just to get an oil change or routine
maintenance performed either.

Lastly, I called my dealership, and they said that they can NOT get me
an 07 OR 08 V6 Manual, so I am kind of bummed. Maybe I will just suck
it up and look into an automatic.

If you can afford a BMW why would you drive a Honda? If value is
important, consider the 2008 Accord EX I4 makes 190HP and is available
with a manual transmission.

Hope your injuries are minor and you make a full recovery.

My injuries don't seem to be that bad, and all it will take is time and
getting through the pain.

As for why I drive a Honda, it is because a fully loaded Accord can be
had for what a bottom of the line BMW runs. After all, although I used
to DJ, I am also a Certified Public Accountant, therefore I am CHEAP
(lol). Since my wife died this past January, I was thinking about
upgrading the vehicle to something a little better, but I am unsure of
what I will do. Until I decide, I will be sporting around in my late
wife's 1997 Civic.

Come to think about it, I need to change my nym.
