Actually... it's *cringe* a metalic light blue. But..... but.. that's okay... paint jobs happen, right? Right.
I took her for a test drive today... and, being used to the Civic... I screeched the tires as I stepped on the gas. :chuckles:
But.. yeah.. the break in car payment will be VERY nice. For a Civic.. the payment is very steep.. so.. this is good.

I could see not talking the deal if it was a Mirage or something but a Diamante is a big step up from a civic. It may have reliability isuues but they shouldn't be too bad.
Yeah.. it is a huge step up. And she seems to run well... My brother-in-law is getting me Roters for Christmas.. so we're going to do the breaks this weekend. Then, after I sell the Civic.. I'll pay for a timing belt and tune up. The steering is a little looser then the Civic... but it's deffinatly a pimp car. I'll be BlingBlinging it out. :hahano:
Nah.. the only issue I have is the color.. but like I said... that can be changed.
