OK. My newest car!!! Just bought it last Saturday

No.

I'm joking.

Here's my actual car.


2004 Honda Accord LX

It's the same color!

I got a good deal out of this! My wife is in LOVE with this car.

The Toyota Echo is in the shop now for its final repairs before tossing it back to the leasing agency. Insurance is surprisingly lower on my Accord than on my Echo.

3. VW Passat?

That was on my wife's agenda, but due to my parent's stupid boycott on German-made vehicles (don't ask me -- they are children of Holocaust survivors), we had to drop VW from our list, but when we move to the East, it's definetely back in our list.

14. Actually it's a Jetta

A little sportier than the Passat, but not as roomy.

4. and it's union made, too

[Frangible]

6. I thought Hondas were made in the US now...

by unions, am I wrong?

[Kolesar]

10. No union there since they opened in ~1984

Honda has kept them out.

8. So was my Accord

Final assembly plant: Marysville, Ohio. Well, at least UAW is trying to organize there.

7. What do you think of it compared to the Toyota Echo?

I'm getting a new car in a couple months, looking at the Toyota Prius mostly but the Hondas are also appealing.

[Hawkeye-X]

9. Well

Echo was a POS compared to the Accord. It has much quieter engine and more space.

I don't recommend the Prius or the Accord hybrid if you live in the mountains. The car dealer told me that it doesn't perform well in sloping areas.

11. Hmm ok, thanks

I do live in western Montana, which has the whole mountain thing going on :P

12. Wow, you must be rich!!!!

If I come over some day, will you let me sit in it?

[catzies]

13. Why did you pick the LX instead of the EX? Money?

Other than hole-in-the-roof and leather, what does the LX come with that the EX already has?
