My car, my S2000, was a hard-to-get model. I had to take whatever they had in stock. Fortunately, what they had was a silver car with a black leather interior and that was just fine. Now I’m looking at the Honda Hybrid, and I’m sure I’ll have the same sort of problem. I suppose I’m enjoying it, too.
I’ve decided on the Honda Hybrid instead of the Toyota Prius for great engineering reasons. This great engineer likes it better. HAHAHAHA. I don’t great reasons other than I like Hondas. Plus I’ll be able to see when I’m backing up. UNLIKE MY CURRENT STUPID CAR. (Or the Prius.) Wait, I like my current stupid car. I’ll have to rethink that last bit.
I love my honda hybrid, but there are some arguments against it – it has a lot of road noise (even with really nice tires, but especially with the ones the dealership puts on or studded tires) and you can’t fold down the seats in the back and stuff long things in the car because the battery is back there (both of these objections may have been solved in the 2006 Hybrid, mine is from 2004). The last objection is a little lame – since I only want to do something like that about twice a year and I can just borrow a truck or tie the long thing on top.
My sister just got the Prius and all the gizmos are a bit destracting to me, she is really excited about not having a key – keys have never bothered me. She loves the video-cam of the abck of her car as she backs up also – I think for a parent this might be a plus – one would hate to drive over a toddler – but for a single guy??
Anyway, happy car shopping
