While not a Honda fan, if I was forced to own one is would look something close to this minus the hubcap thingy on the front.

Saw this one at the VA Hospital today on my way out.

After lunch check in, had a Bacon cheese Burger and some spicy cheese ***** form the local watering hole.

I'm not familiar with the mountain girls, but my buddy Mark down in Lou-zee-anna calls them southern bells.

I almost bought one of those, Honda F6B. dealbreaker was no cruise control on the 2013 model I was dealing on, it was a year old in the showroom and they wouldn't move on the price...until after I had bought an Ultra. then they called and were willing to deal, told them they were too late.
