My new 4-wheel Baby
Here you go - my new car. Ok, it is not a new new car but it is a lot younger then my first car. still a civic, but it is almost all that i could ask for in a car - 2-dr, sunroof, a/c, CD player. the previous owner had the car lowered with racing shock so it is a breeze cornering.... it's damn cool!! if it comes with a spoiler, it will be perfect. but it's ok, it's good enough!!i had wanted a Prelude - but E would not 'let me embarrassed myself' by getting an automatic one. he insisted that i have to get a stick shift if i want a Prelude. I kinda agree but since i am not keen on a manual car (sorry, i'm too lazy), i settled for a civic, again.
i was driving a Kia Rio before i got this - man, the handling was horrible. i honestly wonder how could anyone drive that car - unless they have never driven anything better?!
well, E said this car is actually pretty well maintained and there is no major tune-up that i need. it is worth the $, so i got it. i really like the cornering - i can go at higher speed and not have the feeling that it will topple over. the back entrance to my apartment complex has a pretty sharp s-curve and this car sail thru' it so smoothly. it's so cool!!
i am keeping my fingers crossed that i can drive this car for a long time to come. it sucked to change car just when i was getting used to it. somehow, i actually miss the old car.......
