"The blackness of it was so extreme that it was almost impossible to tell how close you were standing to it."
- Douglas Adams, The Restaurant at the End of the Universe
Some intermittent tweets & Facebook posts sparked more curiosity about what it was I will be driving that I thought I would post more, here, rather than limit it to contemporary social media.
Yesterday, Buckbeak, my 2004 Saturn LW300 "lifestyle support vehicle," was traded in to Gillman Honda towards the purchase of a 2012 Honda Fit. After sundry repairs and interminable "check engine" light, it was decided that we needed something more reliable, something that was a better fit, into the family life I share with Nicholle, Kai, and Marzipan. Naturally, the Fit was the perfect fit.
Prior to the purchase of Nicholle's car in 2010, we had looked at the Fit but opted for the superior fuel economy of the Insight; it was, after all, going to be her commuter car. However, for the limited driving needed by moi, the Fit proved to be ideal, as we weren't wanting to tackle any larger (second) car payments than necessary.
So, after three (yes, 3) hours at the dealership, haggling over finances, trade-in, and the like, I inked the deal on the Fit you see here. As of yet, it lacks a name, but feel free to leave a suggestion in the comments section below. And, if you find yourself in want of a new Honda, drop a line to Gillman (210/651-5533), and ask for Mark Wright. He'll do you right…and, hopefully, in less than three hours.
Enjoy the show, and thanks for reading.
