New Car  
When I got home from work I decided to show my parents all of the pics I downloaded from work. No not porn you weirdos!!!

I was looking at the completely new 2006 Honda Civic Si. Navigation is an option on the EX and Si Civics for 2006! Impressive for an econobox. But it's not much of an econobox anymore! I'm guessing the Civic Si will be about 20-21K with nav. Not too bad considering the only power features it's lacking are power seats. It's an "econobox" after all. But the Si has 187hp (I think) which is not much less than my Prelude. :-( Plus it's a lighter car so I'm expecting 0-60 times close to my Prelude.

Here is the conversation I had with my mom.

ME: Isnt it really nice?!
MOM: Yes. How much is it?
ME: About 20K for this one (Civic Si)
ME: I want one!
MOM: You have sell one car.
ME: *GASP*

Ummmmm... I dont know if I really could afford another car. And sell one? That's it? Just one? I think she said 1 because it's relatively cheap. But at that price it's not much less than what I paid for my Prelude 5 years ago. She did think the Prelude was a good deal. It makes me drool. Maybe I will get one in 2 or 3 years, unless I can afford an Acura RL at that time. Or if I buy a house I wont be able to afford any cars. LOL! I'll be walking every where. :-p

Cars, Cars, Cars...

you spoiled bitch! you still haven't sold the car you were supposed to sell when you got the tl.

No, no, no... I did sell one car. I sold the 91 Accord EX coupe to my nieghbor. He bought it for his grandson. I have 3 cars now. 92 Accord (the car they gave me after I graduated high school), 00 Prelude and 05 TL.

I actually dont want another brand new car right now. Too much in one year. Besides, there's 4 years until the next new Civic and 5 before the next new RL. I have plenty of time. :-)

Another new car?

Well it has been 8 months since your last one so it must be about time.

Lol.

lol! Shut up!

I'm not getting the car, yet. Just thinking for the future. :-p

"Just thinking for the future."

Sure...you just want a new car to add to your collection.

Lol.

Always looking for cars. Just like you're always looking at traveling options. We all have our own thing.

True.

We each have our own interests.

But mine are cheaper and don't require washing every few days! ;-)

Cheap is all relative. :-p

And not washing up frequently while you travel is allllll you. But who am I to judge a person who doesnt like to shower while traveling? I guess you like the scent to linger to remind you of the good times.

Cheap is relative, but at least I do not have to make monthly payments to my travel destinations. ;-P

I do shower and even do laundry while traveling. Frequently. So no taking those points away from my gay card. Lol.
