Tinny So: 1996 Honda Accord

Tinny So was still in high school when he got into the car lifestyle. His family picked up a 1996 Honda Accord when he was just finished high school, and it stayed in the family for about a month. At that time, So's father's life was taken in a tragic accident, and he decided to carry on with the 1996 Accord in his father's memory. Learning how to do almost every modification himself, he transformed the old economy sedan into his own unique ride.
