Dave's Back!
Just letting everyone know that I'm back in Illinois after some exciting times going to Florida and spending some time with the folks.
Unfortunately, the Saturn met an untimely demise on the way down. However only the car was dead and not anything else. A family member was offering a car they we're using, but that one had a death rattle (Hyundai junk). So, Dad took me shopping and I got a good deal on a '14 Honda Accord. It'll take some getting use to moving into a vastly different car.
I will be sharing my adventures through the smokey mountains and info on my new ride in upcoming posts. For now, my girlfriend is here to take me to Michigan for a week to move some junk out of her parent's place.
Oh and I picked up my first smart phone and already hate all of the typos my big fingers create!

Driving the Accord in short: sized like a Buick, rides composed but not bouncy, zippy steering if unconnected, efficient cvt, 185 HP is more than enough for most situations, 38mpg on the highway without trying is awesome, and Lx trim doesn't clutter the car with gadgets.
I forgot to add that some owners have complained about seat comfort. The chair lacks lumbar adjustment, so sit in it a long time if you are interested. I personally didn't have any trouble with it, but that may be just me.
