88k is still a baby. I've relayed the story of my brother's car numerous times. Your learning process can't be as abusive as his normal driving, if for no other reason than you are clearly thinking about it and trying to consciously minimize wear.

I can't remember if yours is pre- or post- cheese grater beak, but I've liked Acura for awhile. I'd probably just load up an Accord though, if I wanted a semi-luxobarge. I had an 03 Accord Coupe that was great.
