We're buying a car. It's cool, we can afford it.
Not a bad looking one either. It's a funny story, though, if you get in to it.
About a year ago... I was looking at a new car. I started with the Yaris. And I test drove it. It's got some pickup, but overall, the sedan version of the Yaris was not comfortable with me. It's extremely roomy on the inside, however, if you're afflicted with LTS (Long Torso Syndrome), like I am, the Yaris is not the option for you (your head will hit the front support beam).
I was slightly disappointed, since I had absolutely convinced myself that this was the car for me. Great gas mileage, low price, nice features package (not great, just nice). It took a couple of days, but eventually I ended myself at a Honda dealership looking at the lovely Honda Civic LX Coupe. It's a great ride, quiet and luxurious. The back seat is no place for anyone over 16 or 180 pounds to enjoy, but I never have people in my backseat. It's a fast car, too.
This was the car for me... that or the Mazda 3. Well, all and all, I didn't get what I wanted for a trade in on my car. I chose to forgo getting a new car at that time, and got by with my car.
Now... a year and 12,000 miles later...
I find myself with my wife... at that same Honda Dealership looking at a new 07 Honda Civic EX Coupe. Ain't life funny?
