Trading Up
« on: June 04, 2014, 06:14:33 PM »
Well, after 10 years of loyal service, the Integra finally bit it this past weekend (the timing was particularly annoying, but oh well).

I gots me a new toy now:



2013 SXT, so nothing high-end, and it's an automatic, but after a 92 Daytona (I still miss that one) and a 95 Integra (I won't miss this one AS much, it was the "get me to work for 2-3 years" car that I ended up driving for a decade) it's nice to be having a NEW (ok, last model year, but still!) car for a change.

Even if it's not a V8 manual, it's still a lot of fun to drive (especially coming off that little 4-banger), and I have to admit I think the Challenger is the best looking of the three "retro" pony cars.
Ron White says you can't fix stupid. I beg to differ. Stupid will usually sort itself out, it's just a matter of making sure you're not close enough to become collateral damage.

Nice. I like the wheels.
There must also be a flyable computer available for Nefarious to do FSO. So he doesn't keep talking about it for eight and a half hours on Friday night!

It looks great, I would have sprung for the v8 though.

Oh, believe me, I'd have loved to have picked up a V8. Unfortunately, the timing of the Integra deciding to go TU on me didn't leave me much of an option. I'll be eyeing an upgrade in the future (one of these days, I WILL get into a V8 Mustang), but I'm still happy with it.

I own a '12 Mustang and I agree with you.
