Get Over it Already!

I miss my Accord.

I know, how can you miss a car? I'm sure there are people out there who have felt this way. Is there some kind of support group? An online forum?

My lease was up and gasoline was just teetering on $4 a gallon. My V6 engine and leadfoot were costing us big time. My eighty mile round trip commute wasn't helping.

I leased the car when I had a 30 mile round trip commute and I was sitting pretty. Leather heated seats, sunroof, factory installed XM radio. Did I mention the V6? Loved. My. Accord.

But reality (and my husband) were telling me that we needed something more fuel efficient. Perhaps a hybrid?

I ended up with a Civic EX-L. I like it. It definitely doesn't have that great pick up when you put your foot down. But, I did eventually get used to it. It was like driving my Volkswagen Jetta again. Which I loved! I'll live.

But......sometimes.....when I'm sitting at a traffic light and I see the shimmer of the graphite colored paint out of the corner of my eye....THERE IT IS! My Accord! I gaze at it longingly as it zooms past. I try to be very subtle so I don't upset the Civic.

Oh my sweetie....I miss you so.
