The sebring is gone...traded in for a Civic Hybrid. Yay 50 mpg...
Posted by Nate at April 18, 2005 09:30 AMHey, why don't you go hug some trees? :) That's cool though. With the experts predicting gas prices at $3 per gallon coming within the year, hybrids are getting popular. I hear used Priuses are selling for more than new ones in some places just so people can avoid the 4-month waiting list.
What's the horsepower on that Civic?
Posted by: Rick at April 18, 2005 09:48 AMNot much, only 85 @ 5700 / 93 @ 5700. It seems to go just fine though, I don't really notice any difference between that and a regular civic. I thought I just read that the gas prices have peaked, and that they should be coming back down. I notice a few stations around my house where it's dropped 10-15 cents...
Posted by: Nate at April 18, 2005 09:53 AMA Hybrid Civic? Living in PA? That fucking Callaway hat? Damn, you are so old. What happened to the dude that used to rooster-tail highway cones on the Bay Bridge?
Wow. A Civic. At least if it breaks down you could put it in the back seat of the F950 and haul it down to the repair shop.
Posted by: Chris at April 18, 2005 02:52 PMcongrats nate! welcome to the honda club.
irony: man with a station wagon is calling you old.
Posted by: roy at April 18, 2005 03:44 PMThis same man calling me old also drove a Mini-van the 1st 2 years of college...
Posted by: Nate at April 18, 2005 04:40 PMThat minivan was pimp as shit and you all know it. It had:
- A stick shift
- Little to no headliner
- More stickers than, um, a well-stickered thing
- Beer stains in the carpet, "smoke" smell everywhere else
- that cold-air-vent in direct scrotal-assaulting position - kept me awake and relatively choerent on many a late, drunken night's drive.
The station wagon is also pimp as shit, though I have no evidence to support this. I dunno, nine speakers? Roof rack? All-wheel drive?
Posted by: Chris at April 18, 2005 05:35 PMOh shit, I forgot: the minivan was FREE too, and you picked that Civic. And, I only needed the minivan because I totalled an incredibly overpowered, loud, manly beast of a Mustang. I know you know that car, silly Nate: your girly man leg couldn't even work that clutch. I crush you. Hulk smash.
Yeah, I did pick that Outback. But "Outback" conjures up images of huge knives, rabid koalas, poison arrows, and big brim alligator-skin hats - manly things. "Civic?" That's civility, peacefulness, and urbanity. If there weren't actual living, breathing proof of your heterosexuality I would now have the basis to challenge it. Girly man.
Posted by: Chris at April 18, 2005 05:40 PMYou never let me drive the mustang. I think you only had it for 3 weeks before you wrecked it with Gonzo riding shotgun.
And don't forget our awesome wiring job in the mini-van...
I miss my Bel Air...
