Nice. I got me a Civic semi-recently myself, but I got a 2008 LX Coupe. I had kinda wanted to hold out and find a nice used one, but then I hit a deer and the insurance company totaled my old Grand Prix... and I still needed to get to work. Great car though.

That sucks about the Grand Prix. I was told that Civic's have been known to go all the way to 400k miles. If kept well maintained of course. The only bad thing about it is Civic's are the #1 stolen car. They mostly steal your computer stuff in there. But, I do have a private driveway.

Nice, always fun having your first car. I have a Buick Lesabre (used) that I got for about 4-5 grand almost a year ago. It's an old grampa car but gets me around and it was the best deal at the time, was wanting to buy used.

Insurance is a killer though, I had to have my parents set as primary driver or it would of costed me another 5 grand in insurance. Totally insane. Car insurance is a scam.

Heh, indeed. Its very fun. For the first few days I just sat in it. Usually till 2 or 3AM. Its just that car ownership feeling that feels sooo nice. Buick's seem to be popular, there are a lot in my neighbor hood and my friend just got one.
Insurance really is a scam. The place I have is really good though. I'm only paying about 160$ a month.

Lol I don't know.. are you saying you like the color? I took it to a friends, there was three people there. They all said its a good car, but the only mistake I made was getting it a white car.
Pfft, they can have fun cooking in their 7 degree hotter car. No need to put on AC for me.

Your car will also turn into a stealth patrol vehicle in the winter.

Haha, I forgot about that. We hardly get any snow in Oregon but I was hoping to take a road trip up to Canada.

Sweet, I got a 5 hour head start on you.

Anyway, is it during the day? I flew from Denver to Portland and I was pissed. Since it was midnight. Flew right over the rocky mountains and couldn't see a thing. But, it was my first time flying so it was cool.
