[quote=scaredyclassic]I was thinking maybe it’s just status. Why am I driving this beat up old Honda given who I am. Discussed with my son. He said look, you’ve been driving an old silver Honda your entire life, maybe that’s who you are. My old civic was silver, and so is the accord.
He has a point. How much of wanting a new car is about a car, and how much about wanting to be or be perceived as someone else. Or imagining life will be different.
So I replaced the wiper blades. One was really thrashed. I think I can make it through the winter with this car. In the spring, I will rethink things.[/quote]
The joke my friends your “Asian-ness” of a family depends how many Toyota Camry’s or Honda Accords your family has. I had a friend that had 7 total Camrys. My best friend’s family had 6 Accords before he got rebellious and bought an Acura TL……His parents were like “why did did you waste money on a fancy label and leather”?
You have a great car. If it’s looking a little old, taking it to the body shop and getting it repainted. Or if you’re nice to me, I can experiment on your car after I’m done with my kids… Man I’m cheap…[img_assist|nid=27772|title=crackmobile|desc=|link=node|align=left|width=500|height=400]
