we love debt
to put ourselves further in debt, deidra and i bought a car on wednesday. what started as an outing to shop for cars, ended up as an outing to purchase a car.
this started when her POS geo tracker's clutch started acting up several weeks ago. since we had already spend several hundred dollars on it fixing it's leaking radiator two months ago, we decided to scrap the damn thing and get a new car for her.
personally, i was hoping we didn't have to do so, but honestly, it's not worth putting more money in that fucking piece of shit. so we decided to get a cheap japanese car... something that is really reliable and won't be a money pit (aka: fords).
so we went to goudy honda on main st. in alhambra to look and to make a long story short, we ended up getting the car that you see on the left. a honda civic lx special edition in magnesium metallic. given that it's a manual (cheaper in price), i'm not going to be doing any of the driving. deidra keeps saying i should learn, but i'm not too interested and i don't want to learn using our new car. no thank you, very much.
the only reason why we got the special edition and not the regular edition is because they didn't have the regular edition at the dealership. i'm not certain if it's a ploy or not, but the special edition is pretty cool and it's only a bit more in price.
it has a rear spoiler, a 6-cd changer (mp3 compatiable), some sort of special rims. unfortunately, it doesn't have a moonroof, which would have been thousands of dollars extra (civic ex). even though we'll be paying a shitload of money per month (well for us, anyway), it's really important for me that deidra has a reliable car that she can drive around, especially for her practicum this year in the valley.
as with anything new, especially something as expensive as a new car, i'm freaking out about it being destroyed or harmed in any way. but that's something i'll just have to deal with.
so yeah, we're a honda family now.
