I Heart My Honda

My Honda = black 2003 Honda Civic LX, 4 doors. Totally plain vanilla, but has served us well. Here are the top 5 reasons why I love this car.

5. If I hadn't bought it when I did in mid-2003, I doubt Alex and I would have moved to Las Vegas when we did (late 2003), or at all. We didn't own a car for most of the time that we lived in Boston. I finally bought one because I could, and because I hated feeling trapped in the city. Vegas has shitty public transportation, so we definitely needed a car to move here and I'm not sure we would have bought one just so we could move, but since we already had one, the decision was easy. And life is good here. Though if I'd known we were heading to the desert, I wouldn't have chosen a black car, that's for sure.

4. It's a standard and so I can do a lot of coasting in neutral therefore saving gas. Which I do.

3. The person who filled up at the gas pump before me the last time spent $80. I only spent $42. And I only have to fill it up about once every 2 weeks because...

2. I got 36.394 miles per gallon on my last tank of gas.

And the number one reason why I Heart My Honda....

1. It's paid off!
