Chronic Car Buyers Anonymous

Virginia is debating whether to get of the gas tax, but they would leave the tax on diesel fuel, so the gap would be even wider.

To add insult to injury diesel+hybrid owners pay more to register, so diesels end up being double taxed.

Good to know that you really like your Accord & that Honda is once again focused on making cars that drive like "Hondas." What was the sticker on your EX 6MT? $22,600 sounds like a fantastic deal.

According to the Honda website, MSRP on an Accord EX 6MT is $25,395 with shipping.

She has the GMC pick up. Someone in the lower 48 does have an X5d, but I can't recall who it is.

I understand too where you are coming from on the Miata. No point in living with the inconveniences of a "fun" car, when you never get to have the fun! Really seems more suited to a weekender toy car status.

My SIL lives in Va (Mclean) and commutes through that corner of DC to some MD school (a CC I think). She just got a Prius (the normal one) to replace an older Civic. So far, she seems to like it, and for her drive (sounds similar to yours but not as long maybe) it is perfect.

I spend more time having fun driving go karts with my son at the boardwalk.

I hear you. Camry 6MT, plus runner's knee in my left knee = no fun. Wife's ride is auto, but she doesn't like driving a stick, so I have to suffer most of the time.

for about 9 months, I commuted from south Jersey, through Philly, and out past valley Forge. For locals, this meant the length of the Schuylkill expressway. This was with my 5 speed Accord. Good thing it had a nice light clutch, so it was more tedious than painful. Most days.

there was one day that my left leg was totally shot but the time I got home, and was still achy a week later. Rainy Friday afternoon, and it was basically a door to door parking lot until I got close to home. 45 mile trip, took 2.5 hours total. that, was not fun.

I'm fine for about an hour, then it gets painful. Fortunately that doesn't happen too often, maybe once a week coming in.

Is that because no guy would have anything to do with her after he saw her driving a Granada?

That could be it. Or, perhaps he's thinking that between the the stick shift and buckets up front, and the tiny back seat, it's not an easy car to get pregnant in.
