Sad Story...The Max is being swapped

Man...some *******s broke into my apt and took my spare key(valet), so my Dad suggested we trade cars until I move in about a month, which makes sense, but I've only have the car since May. It's gonna suck....If I find those *******s, I'll make them pay.

Going from an 00 SE 5spd to a 01 Accord V6, gonna miss the VQ...

Yeah, you are probably right. If the coincidence happened where they spotted your car and had the key on them they could break in (not steal the car) but break in without actually breaking anything then steal stuff in your cab.

Being without your VQ and 5-spd will definitely suck. I've been there bro, I feel for you.

Mainly because of the 5MT, you'll miss the VQ30DE. If you had an auto, it wouldnt be that big of a deal, seeing as the J-series is a sweet motor as well.

Actually the engine code is VQ30DE-K, get it straight!

But you're right. If they offered the Accord V6 with a 5-spd I would have considered that with my Max. But because they didn't that year, there was no competition.
