Today I bought a new car. The Honda Insight. Spending money makes me want to throw up. It didn't help that I was trading in my dream car, my PT Cruiser. It had everything that I loved in a car, it sat a little higher than average, it had awesome storage, leather heated seats, flat fold down front seat, removable back seats, manual transmission. If I thought it would last forever, I would have kept it forever.This car sits a little lower, no tinted windows, no heated seats, no fold down front seat, tiny 15 inch wheels, automatic transmission. Ugh, why get the thing? Well it does get 40 mpg (on a bad day). And I can control everything from my steering wheel. There's voice activation, bluetooth, navigation. I made sure I was in the car for all my phone calls today. I think that's a little wasteful, driving around the neighborhood talking on the phone, but hopefully the novelty of that will wear off.
If the car wasn't new, I would spend half my time driving and talking on the phone and the other half, driving and eating! Heck since I'm talking hands-free and I have a free hand, I could drive, talk and eat all at the same time. Ah the joy of the automatic car!
Oh, and I've spent 8 years operating the windows from the center console, what's with the crazy window controls on the door?
