I bought a daily beater. Hopefully it will get good fuel mileage.

It's a 02 Honda ...... :confused: Something.

Drove it to Wally world to get some stuff. It was so nice parking where ever I wanted, and not worrying about door dings!

They steal the shit out of Hondas. The locks come out with slap hammers or something. I may have to retire the diesel in favor of the Lightning. I got stuck buying diesel in town twice this week 20 bucks (6 gallons) Thursday, 50 bucks (15 gallons) Saturday and 120 bucks (38 gallons) today at the truck stop. Diesel is 3.40 in town and 3.13 on the interstate. A third of my paycheck went to fuel this week:vomit:that is not the American dream...

Diesel was up to 3.17 just down the street, not sure how much it's up at the Truck stop.

I've always heard they steal-the-hell out of Accords, too. Thieves recently hit a friend of mine's daily-driver Accord parked in his south Tulsa driveway a good while back.

Never recovered.

I did that 6 years ago. I had the black 93, and a black 99. The problem was, I could not make up my mine on which one to drive. But the ex took care of that problem. She took the black 99. :tex

I thought about a new or gently abused fukus. They are cheap and seem reliable with 30mpg+ economy under 10 grand.

This one is new. Under warranty. If it breaks, they can fix it!

No Chris, not buying a lot, just trading up.:cool:
