But you're a guy who loves a good sports car don't you miss it ? I'm not even saying you need to spend more money because the Accords aren't exactly cheap cars and if you are dead set on the Accords why not a 2 door coupe with a manual.

You are thinking more along the lines of the financial sense of it but we are all car enthusiasts and the type of cars a lot of us buy involve a lot of emotion on our part other wise we'd all be driving Camry's.
On a financial standpoint you are absolutely right and the way you buy your cars is smart but some people like new cars with me being one of them, nothing is like getting a brand new car.
