Nein. I'm looking for the black/black color combination, and I'll take higher mileage for it over blue/beige. Also, holy crap Atlanta is far away.

Although alfa would like me to get that one.

lol it made me consider selling my civic... too bad i love gas mileage too much!

Three years to 100k. Price is a little high, but that seems to be universal in this area, everything is steep.

Parents picked it up last night while I was at work. I put 55 miles on it today roaming through half a dozen towns. It's pouring out, and this thing has turned rain driving from a miserable worrisome chore into an amusing pastime.

And then I proceeded to scuff a wheel on a curb on some narrow little road. /facedesk

I don't feel the compulsion, nor have the funds, to modify it at this point. It's so much superior to my Grand Prix I can't see the limits. If/when I get money together, I'm doing a projector light retrofit, and getting some nice summer tires.

The dealership waxed it rather extensively, to the point that if I touch the brake, all the rainwater that is sitting on the roof pours down the windshield. It's pretty funny. So clay bar seems a bit redundant now, or at least it would remove the wax already on the car, right?

@ alfa - yes, auto. I tried a manual Mazda 6, it wasn't fun.
