And I will say, I'm getting damn mad about having to drive the CRX-Si in the rain.
I need the Frontier to show up soon...

^^ Is that because it is getting dirty in the rain? I used to hate running in the rain, but since you've told me I try to get out and enjoy the rain as much as I can. For one there is less traffic and it gives me an opportunity to practice staying within my limits while trying to keep a good pace.

No, not the dirty, the wet just makes the stuff that has started to rust, rust even more. I really don't have rust spots on the body, but there are plenty of things under it that do.

I love to run in the rain, but I would prefer to be doing it in a truck so the cars can stay homw where it is dry.

^^ C'est True. If I had another daily driver, I'd probably drive that over my H cars. Maybe someday I'll get a used Subaru

I'm starting to feel bad driving my Civic in the winter I need a car I really HATE... I'm thinking Hyundai or maybe a Ford -- that's a close tossup for me

I owned an 89 Hyundai and I did warranty claims for Fords for 5 years

Here is something weird, I think the same way.. kinda.
I hate my Element, but I love to hate it so I take better care of the S2K.
By hating it, I love it.
My wife says it's the perfect stealth car. Nobody notices this ugly skiboot.
My friends call it the poster car for 45 year old lesbians.
Get something dependable that you hate. Makes it easy to park, makes door dings a "I don't care". Makes "I'll wash it later" your mantra.

Maybe I should just get a Suburu too. I have no strong feelings one way or the other about them

^^ Yeppers and used Subaru's can be bought for cheap and I've heard good things about their reliability. My wife's Impreza is truly impressive in the snow and is the polar opposite in salubrious weather conditions

Rolled a 04 subie impreza in snow at less than 10mph, the A pillars folded up and the roof went flat to the tops of the seats.
Hurt for a long time. No Subies for me.
Your results may vary.

Good weather for hops for sure!!!!
