The Silver Seersucker Solstice

#1 Post by themanintheseersuckersuit » Sat Jan 24, 2009 2:03 pm

Well actually its gray (or liquid silver metallic if you are a advertising type) its a 2006 and I got a terrific deal. It makes my old Miata seem like a practical family car. I'm going to drive some where now. it doesn't matter where.

The problem, then, is that such calls do not address an opposition audience so much as they signal virtue. They talk past those who need convincing. They ignore actual facts and counterargument. And they are irreparably smug.

Wow! I've been meaning to find out what the name is for this car. I like it a lot!

Congratulations.

It is very comfortable for a roadster. Less luggage space than a Miata. Great sound system. I love the built in jack for the mp3 player.

That is a cool car and I don't like cars.

Honk if you pass us!
Well, then

Room for a toothbrush and can of K2R.

The latter was the showstopper back when we were buying BD a car as a graduation gift. The '07 Civic had one. The '07 Corolla didn't. My '09 does.

In retrospect, we should have gone for the Corolla anyway. Honda has apparently done nothing to fix the struts since our old '01, which had myriad problems. The '07 is eating tires just like the '01 did.

GW wants a roadster-type car. Room for her and whichever dog we have at the time. Tells you something about my standing in the hierarchy. :wink:

The reason I got such a deal on the was that the Surgeon bought it for his wife as a third car, but they have 3 young kids. The car only had 5600 miles on it. So it cost them $10K for 5600 miles.
