    Ah, the "boxcar".
    Cool though. Honda reliability, good mpg, can do everything you need it for.
    Good luck, and good traveling Ames.

    Yeah, ya_got me.
    Even better though. And, still everything I said about Honda.
    But: why do you say "mid life crisis"? What's that got to do with it?
    Also: how 'bout some pics of your new baby.

    I will take a picture of it this weekend. Why does it have to rain the first day of ownership? I hope it stops by 1:30

    Yeah, it's called menopause. Something I have no desire to experience for a long long time.

    Us Texans woulda bought either a really BIG pickup, or a Porsche Boxter. In either case, we would tie the kids and the dog onto the fenders next to the whitetails we just bagged, drink a quart of Jack Daniels, snort an eight-ball and hightail it on down the road! YEEEE-HAWWW!!

    sorry, thought I was the President for a moment. gotta cut back on the hours.

    That's the CR-V. That seats 5. This one seats up to 8. We drove it to Massuneten Va this weekend. My husband liked my choice. Though, I totally forgot to call insurance regarding our purchase. Anyone know iof there is a grace period?

    Only if you don't hit anything.... In the UK it is illegal to drive a car uninsured period.

    If you already have car insurance with a company and buy a new car, they usually cover you for thirty days. (At least Farmer's Insurance does)

    BTW, my daughter has a Honda Element - cargo khaki color - and she loves it. It drives just like her old Civic.
