Greetings from Zippy!
Seeking a new home
Hi, I'm Zippy, I've been owned by Pete Nice for twelve years. He's been very good to me, but now we're breaking up. Boo hoo.
My Nose
My nose
Okay, so my nose is a bit messed up. The duct tape really wasn't necessary. My bumper stays on just fine without it.

My butt
From this angle, you can appreciate my true road warrior attitude. I will defend, at all costs, the honor of my owner.

Ravishing red
When I first came off the production line in Japan, my ravishing red interior deeply impressed the ladies.

Sporting my colors
I got all kinds of mad stickers on me.

Surf bites dog
This was when I was going through my urban primitive stage.

Duct tape
Why didn't he just use bailing wire, or bolts, or even zip ties! Look, the duct tape isn't even doing anything.

LX
Do you know what LX stands for? LuXury. Yeah, that's right, I was the most feature rich Accord of my day.

Space invaders
Some kind of artsy thing I guess. I dunno.

Secret stash spot
There's a secret stash spot inside of my steering wheel. Don't tell anyone.

Come on in
Let's go for a spin. I'm fast. That's why they call me Zippy.

Look at my cargo space
Snowboards, groceries, yard waste... Throw it in here.

Interior luxury
All original fabric. No need to pimp this ride.

Under the hood
I always had oil changes every three or four thousand miles.

Representing the Merwin family
Northwest best. Bent metal for me was an attitude, not a way of life.
