Another car update
My little new-to-me Civic has been determined to be a total loss.

Goddammit.

Apparently there was extensive damage to the floor and the trunk areas - kinda sounds like frame damage. Now before you go telling me "that's a unibody car, it's not actually a frame, emmeh-blah-blah" I DON'T CARE - I'm going to call it a frame. Grrr.
I haven't actually gotten to talk to the people who evaluated it - my insurance chicky is surprised I haven't been contacted yet. She was going to tell me more but the answering machine cut it off. Dammit.

So, yeah, now I have to go looking for a car again. I liked this one though - my seester found me a great deal on it and it was happy. Nice stick-shift, A/C, CD player, sunroof, low mileage... Sigh.

Maybe I shouldn't get Civics anymore ;) As my seester said, my cars don't fare well when I'm not in them :)

Updates as events warrant.

But that's entirely preferable to them not faring well when you are in them....

So true it is! And don't think I'm not happy about it :) It's just kind of a drag that it happens at all.

I had a pretty good experience with my old Saturn.

I have a Saturn too, actually right this very instant. I don't want another one. Once I made direct test-driving comparisons (one right after the other), I found Civics, Corollas, and Proteges stood head and shoulders above the Saturn. AND Consumer Reports does not give Saturns the best ratings :)

Intersting about the comparison. I have a corolla now, and used to drive a friend's civic around quite a bit in San Diego. I never really liked the way the civic handled (4 door, automatic), but I think I was just used to my ancient Toyota Celica...and that model won't be made anymore. Boo.
