school ended in a sort of frenzy, excreting me out into a void of other people still working on their finals and my work with not much going on.

i spent an entire year looking for a car that most embodied my personality and philosophy of life (not easy!) while being seduced by pretty cars like the lusty g35 sport coupe and the quirky mini cooper and the feminine acura rsx and then most recently the svelte 2004 accord coupe. which brought me around full circle to honda, the brand i’d avoided from the start because my parents have an accord and a civic. and i can’t be like my parents!

but probably the reason i decided to buy a car right away was that my insurance came due on the 1988 toyota camry i bought back in april, the same one that has been sitting dead outside my apartment since i moved here. and nothing riles a watt more than throwing money away.

so i went out tonight and bought a car. a new, 2004, black, automatic, honda civic sedan. like the one at the top of the previous post, except with alloy wheels (yes!) and a sunroof.
