METALLIC BLUE HONDA CIVIC HYBRID

THURSCAY, MAY 28, 2009 Judy’s 2004 Honda Civic was due to be relicensed by the end of the month and since it has well over 100.000 miles on it, she and I have been thinking it was time to get a new car. The 2009 Civic hybrids have not, until recently been selling well thanks to the fact that gas prices went way down in recent months. Gas prices are now on the rise again and the super-good incentives are going away so it was imperative she jump on it quickly—that and the licensing thing. She stayed late at work last night, but afterwards stopped in at Larry H. Miller Honda in Murray and started bargaining and at 10:45 last night or thereabouts she walked out with a metallic blue one with GPS etc. She even talked them into giving her a set of black all-weather floor mats for Jim’s car that he got recently. (Now Judy and Jim have matching cars, albeit Jim’s is jet black instead of metallic blue, and Jim’s doesn’t have the GPS unit.) Judy arrived home 11:30ish, got me out of bed and off we went to “check it out” and to get burgers at McDonalds. It will be interesting to get a better gander at it in the daylight. Maybe she will allow me to drive it to Las Vegas for Stars Nationals in June. Our other two cars are old and I am always a little nervous taking them on long trips.
