So yesterday I mentioned that I would have a fairly big announcement! Well, as it turns out, I am a little late, but here is the announcement all the same: I got a new car! Probably not such big news for you, but definitely big news for me. The car is for me, Kim, and Tom. In theory anyway – they need to take their driver training and get their licenses, and then I’ll consider handing over the keys once in a while π My Dad, Martin, will have more on that I’m sure.
The new car is a 2005 Honda Civic Reverb, which is a two-door coupe. It’s got a 1.8L engine with 115 horsepower, and it’s a five-speed manual. The Reverb package means that it has the Aero package (skirting and spoiler), a in-dash six CD changer, 15″ alloy wheels, and same colored mirrors and door handles. We also got the protection package which has a paint protector, undercoating, and scotch-guarding inside. You can see the full specs here.
Yes Megan, it has power locks. Dickson, it’s definitely not cute! I love driving a stick, so I’m very happy that it’s not an automatic. Some other cool things – the CD player plays MP3 CDs, and also has a audio jack for external devices, like my Zen Touch. The color is “Fiji Pearl Blue”, which is really nice. We definitely made a good choice on the color.
So that’s my announcement! Now I’ll always have a vehicle at my disposal, and Kim and Tom and I will have something to get around in for the next few years (thanks Mom & Dad). We took some pictures tonight, which you can see here. For now, time to sleep, if only so that I can get back to driving in the morning π
I forgot to mention, but as you can probably tell from the pictures, it’s got tinted windows π
Congrats Mack! Its a pretty sweet ride!
Did you for get to mention the other car you got too? Remember the car we built from our bare hands for you ? lol
Of course I didn’t forget, it’s far too wicked to forget! I just figured it deserved it’s own post π
hahaha, Ashish, how could Mack forget the other vehicle π
anyway, congrats on the new wheels mano! They are certainly PIMP! have fun driving around, remember, you still have a few more months to go before all your previous demerits are gone, so don’t speed too much ’til then π
1. I’m claiming your parents as my own
2. You’re driving to Lisa’s cabin
3. I’m sure you owe me more rides than that.
How glorious this will be. MUAHAHAHAHA!
i thought of something else. those tinted windows better be bulletproof, cause if they’re not you’re going to get shot if you come to my house…haha
Well said Megan, and yes I will drive π
Please protect my car when I come pick you up haha
Your wife better be getting alot of rides!
Congrads on the new ride – it looks really nice! We will have to race now – your Civic vs. my Mazda 3 π
10 on the Mazda.
Thats what I would have bought if i was buying a Japanese car. But instead, I’m going to stay with my gas guzzling North American number until I have enough money to buy a Mazda RX-8.
Cute car!
Just a couple weeks after I got the new car, I got nailed in the windshield by a rock thrown up from…
