Father, forgive me for I bought a chevy; a testimonial and question
Hi all...
you may have seen my posts in this group in the past... I once owned a 88 accord (400,000, never missed a beat) a 1997 honda accord (loved it, 'pimped' it out, but in a very classy, hard-to-notice way) and my wife has a 2003 honda accord. I had this dream when I was a kid... to own a corvette... many men have this desire... but I am only 28. I am not a pateint man. I did not want to wait until I was 65 to get a vette. I wanted it now, while I still looked young and maybe some of the college girls will not notice my receeding hairline as I buzz by the campus, just for stares... I once owned a chevy blazer... after selling it, I vowed never to buy an american car again. So I caved with the vette. My wife said "but your vow!!!" I said "It is a vette! Chevy certainly put in extra time and effort for this thing!" boy was I wrong... got a nice looking 1992 LT1 v8 coupe, targa top and all. Man is it fast, and man is it pretty! "Arrest-me-red" is the color my boss called it. I can fix my hair in the paint it is so shiny! And best of all... SIX SPEED MANUAL! Well, of course I have had it in the shop 3 times this month... left me stranded once, and gives me a "service engine soon" light about once every 3 days... all the codes it gives are un-understandable to a non-mechanic... so, having suffered enough, I am selling it to an unsuspecting fool. Went to my local Honda dealer today... needed to test drive something reliable. What do you guys think about: 1998 CRV, 77,000 miles, that wierd built in 4 wheel drive system, cd, automatic blah blah blah.... about $8,800 and a 2001 Accord coupe, white, auto (really want a 5 speed), cd, etc etc... $10,800, and of course the dealer said "we can come down off of that"... my budget is around $10,000 and $11,000. I wish I could buy my car back, but at the same time, somethign different might be nice. Anyway, hope the group can forgive me. I promise if the S2000 were in my immediate price range at the time i bought the vette, i would have gotten the S2000 and i would be busy driving it right now having a gay-ole-time, and not asking for forgiveness! take care!
