I did cite that as the best sounding I'd ever encountered. And it's even better in person.

Although your video has a Supersprint, so it's not stock.

I'm confused on the original "Stingray" comment:

1963-67 Sting Ray
1968-1976 Stingray
2014-20?? Stingray

Maybe. Dunno. It's not really a factor in this exercise for me.

That's the problem. I do not want to want one. But I do. And have for many, many years.

I believe that the one that I have driven is a '65.

The C7s don't count.

I honestly believe that the Accord gives you the most predictably bulletproof + money-smart experience a person can have owning a car. It's a ridiculously good buy for the money. Easy to like, but unfortunately hard for a car enthusiast to love.

A friend and I were talking on this topic the other weekend. Mine would be the new Ford Raptor. For so many reasons that thing just sounds fun.
