Narf, I'm glad you brought that up. I never did thank you for introducing me to Freefall. It is truly one of the best comic strips out there, thank you, sir! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Although hybrid cars use a lot less fuel and are environmentally friendly, I heard that they may not save you money because the cost of the car is higher. I suppose that after many years of driving, the fuel savings will offset the initial price of the car and you'll start saving money, but it's probably going to take a long time to get to that point.

Guys, please bear rule number 5 of the board rules in mind:

Thanks!

hmmm, I started this thread and thought there was only one rule.. (Don't post more than twice in a row.) Now you say there is at least 5 rules?

So what are rules #2, 3, 4? And if there are even more that I'm not aware of, what about #6, 7, 8,..etc.?

If the rules get too numerous I feel a Boston tea party comming along.. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif

After much looking and test driving, I went with a Civic. Except for the lack of snow traction, I have been very happy with it. I put some Goodyears on the front of it and the snow problem seems to be fixed now. I had sought to find someone who has had one for a while so that I could see if they had any tips as to care and feeding and such.

This was the strangest car deal I ever made. In the past I always bought Chevy's, I negotiated a price and then ordered the car/truck. Thank you very much end of deal. With the Honda it was pick one off the lot, pay the price on the window, no negotiations, then brace yourself for some butt kissing. The place calls my wife every other day to make sure she is happy. They sent us cookies. And I get email from Honda almost every day.

Hmm, if that was pointed this way, it might be time to find a bottle of spf20000

Well, based on the info I had, it should pay off. The Cavalier we had got about 20mpg. The Honda is getting 39 now and still improving as it breaks in. At 2$ gal, it would be about a 5K fuel savings at 100K miles. Take the difference in price of the hybrid Civic and conventional Civic and it leaves about 1500 bucks.

The one thing I can’t get used to is the engine shutting off at stop lights. Even though I know what is happening, I still have a moment of panic every time it shuts off.
