Uhhhh. Hi.

I don't have much to update about. I've been in a real funk lately. And it's that time of the month and I am just blah.

I have to get a new car in January so I have been looking around online and paying more attention to cars on the road. Back in 2003 when I got my current car, an Acura RSX, I was also looking at the Mazda 6. It was brand new then and I loved the way it looked, inside and out. But then I decided that I didn't want a 4 door car. I didn't need something that big. I rarely have other passengers in my car, so a 2 door was fine. But I still loved the Mazda 6 and I figured that would be my next car. 4 years later, I still don't need a 4 door car, but I think I would like it for the ease of just throwing stuff in the backseat and I'd also like to have something that sits a little higher because the world is being overrun by SUV's and it's really not safe for little coupes anymore. Anyway, now that I am paying more attention to cars on the road, I am noticing that the 6's are everywhere! And that kind of turns me off. I don't want a car that everyone else has. That is one thing I loved about my Acura when I got it, there were hardly any other people in my area driving it. Until they built an Acura dealership in the area, that is. Heh. There is also a Mazda 3, which has the same look as the 6, but it is a little smaller and cheaper. I am considering this too.
I think the main contender in my line-up right now is the Saturn Ion Quad Coupe. It has a lot of what I am looking for. A coupe with 4 doors! Genius! *grin* But really, I think it is very cool that it has little doors to make getting in the backseat easier, and I can still keep the sportier coupe style that I like. (Side note: I keep typing couple. It's getting annoying.) There is a Saturn dealership right down the street from me, but this car is not a common sight on the roads. Add in the price and features, and I think this car might be a good one for me.

Other cars I am considering:

Honda Civic. Eh. Another car that everyone drives, but the price might be right. I don't know whether I would go for another coupe or step up to the sedan.

Pontiac G5. Very cool looking car. I saw one on the road and it caught my eye.

Chevy Cobalt. I'm basically only looking into this car because I saw one that was my favorite shade of purple. Yeah, I can be a total girl when it comes to car shopping. I want pretty colors! :) (Side note: What is up with color choices these days? Black, white, silver, tan or red. That's what most have to offer. Bo-ring! What about a nice blue or green or purple? I've had 2 silver cars and my current car is black. I'd like an actual color, other than red because I hate red, but it looks like I might be going back to silver. Which isn't too bad because it is my favorite color after all.)

Toyota Corolla. I haven't done much research on this one yet, but it's on my list to check out.

So that's how I've been spending a lot of my days. Building and pricing cars. I'll probably get out and start test driving next month. I hope I can find a car that I really like, but that costs a little less than what I pay now. If I want to have any hope of moving to a new apartment/townhouse next year, I need to cut back on some expenses. *sigh*

I had pictures of all the cars, but blogger won't let me add them. Big surprise. *rolls eyes*

Phew. That was boring. Sorry. :)
