I hadn't posted this yet, and I feel like I need to point out that I've bought a car. Again.

You might be aware that I have bad luck with cars. Abysmal luck. Sure, some of it's been a little bit my fault - here's a link to part of the story - but mostly the gods have conspired against me. Still, each time I get a little bit better at this. So, here's the new one - it's an '01 Honda Civic, 80K, manual, and it's in great shape. Here's pictures:

This is what my car looks like, from behind, if I was driving away from you.

There's some sort of internal-combustion system in the front, if you like that sort of thing.

And this is me putting my undistracted cognitive powers to work inspecting the automobile.
