Once you’re a young city-dweller and your automotive is a generic 20-year-old sedan with the bottom engine, what do you do? You personalize it, in fact, and that is what the ultimate owner of this Accord LX did. An unlucky rear-end collision sent this automotive to a Denver automotive graveyard, giving us an illustrative snapshot of a spot and time in popular automotive culture.
This automotive began life as certainly one of the greater than 350,000 Honda Accords sold in the USA for the 2005 model yr. It is a dime-a-dozen mid-level DX four-door with the bottom 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine delivering 160 horsepower.
It has air-con, a CD player with AUX input jack (a reasonably rare feature in cars built before the late 2000s), an automatic transmission and a big helping of that legendary Accord reliability.
All in all, a really sensible automotive. But where’s the fun?
So, a shopping spree including pink spray paint, aftermarket accessories and plenty of decals followed.
A not-so-fast but reasonably furious wing was bolted to the decklid.
Once you’re a member of the Slow Automotive Club, you’ll be able to be proud that your Accord doesn’t have the 255-horse V6 under its hood.
Inside, all of the seats feature Hello Kitty seat covers.
Because real Hello Kitty wheels are very expensive, this automotive has regular 15-inch steelies painted pink.
Because all just isn’t sweetness and cuddles within the Hello Kitty universe, there are spike lug nuts.
Break parts, not hearts.
One might apply this sentiment to the motive force who crashed into this Accord and sent it to the junkyard.
It’s value fixing a three-year-old Accord when this happens, but not a lot with a 19-year-old Accord.
Once you own a McMansion like this one, you require the low depreciation of the 2005 Accord LX.
