Right now it’s a quiet time.
Coffee maker is warming up……waking up from a three hour nap. I had to work today – and yesterday – so I’m pretty out of it. Is it Tuesday?? I have to quit taking that Xanax – it keeps knocking me out.
Memorial Day.
Traded in the Hondas on Saturday….and got another Honda. I’ve been asked what I’ve named it, but nothing has sprung forth as fitting. I’m tending to call it my “mid-life-crisis-mobile”. But that’s a little wordy. Actually, I only half heartedly call it that. I went through a lot of different choices before I picked it and several of those cars were definitely mid-life-crisis worthy. The last one I weeded out before the Honda was the Mazda RX8. Unfortunately, the RX8 Renesis engine has a rather disturbing trend of burning up engines when using manufacturers recommended oil weight. While the rotary engine is simple, I don’t think that rebuilding it every 30,000 miles is something I wanted to do.
Plus, I know Honda cars pretty well – starting with my blue Acura back in the mid-nineties. I know what goes wrong with them, they’re reliable, good with gas, not going bankrupt…..
It’s a 2006 Civic SI……It’s really fast. And black.
I didn’t realize that it’s faster than my brother’s mini Cooper until I looked it up.
While I did have a Cobra alarm on the Acura (as anyone who was concious in the 90’s remembers the destinctive 6 alarm wail of), this will be the first car that I’ve installed Lo-Jack on.
Needless to say, car thieves like fast cars with fast engines.
