I feel sorry for you.

You should learn how to drive. And rid yourself of that silly automagic transmission. I know you have the 5th gen V6 but automatic Accords are lame.

Why downshift into 2nd at 70mph? Yeah ok when you hit redline throw it into park

This is for you! Mix it w/ your transmission fluid for improved shifting capabilities.:thumbup:

I downshift from d4 to d3 all the time cause if I let off the gas in D4 my tranny grinds, quite halarious, so I like to avoid highway travel at all costs until today when I begin to get rid of this parasite

:werd: And if anyones car is like mine... it doesnt downshift after 81 MPH.... so to pass a car etc... manual downshift to 3rd is necessary.
