thanks, problem with this approach for me is that my knee wants to pop after so many miles driving.

yah, i should probably check into this... it's not muscle related, more like the joint is popping. my wife said something about me being malnourished from the 5wk long illness ive suffered that might be contributing to this.

so ive been eating more and more and laying bricks.

It may be the Sport model, but it is no sports car. For what it is, which is a daily four door sedan, the CVT is perfectly acceptable. It's better than any Nissan sedan I've driven with one

thanks for the input. yah, i dont really need a true sport sedan as my thought is that my foot will cure over the winter and i should be back in my Z and G by Spring (i hope).

in this case i'd just trade in my Fit to get the accord.
