Thank you BMWguy22! I'm enjoying it a bunch.

I'm one of those people who park far away from other cars and yesterday, I parked near a brand new 2021 BMW M2 Competition Coupe and met its owner. Wow, that is a fine looking car. (I wish VW still made a 2-Door GTI) We had a nice conversation, admiring each other's machines in detail.

My 15-year-old Nissan Frontier looks like it just left the showroom and I hope to keep my GTI looking as good.

That's launching the truck in 2nd gear and just rolling into the throttle for the 2wd run. Being a pick up it just wants to spin in first gear. Don't think the Accord will keep up with it's 4wd launch, but it actually feels strong enough that it would probably eventually run down the truck. Been pretty active in the Accord groups and no reported failure of the 10spd auto yet. Impressive considering there's a hand full of people running big turbos, methanol, nitrous, etc.

That's neat to learn about significant untapped potential in the Accord and those are amazing times with your truck in both 2WD and 4WD. Let us know what you achieve with the Accord. :-)
