Re: Honda Civic vs. Bimmer

[John Virnig <javirnig@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I stuggled with the same question for quite some time before one of my friends imparted a
little automotive wisdom on me.  Drive what you want to drive, especially if you're going to
spend a lot of time in it.  No one will dispute the attractive cost of a Civis, but after 100
miles on the road, is your butt happier in a Honda, or a Bimmer?  Not to knock Honda's at all,
they're nice cars for the money.  But for me?  I'm spoiled.  I drove the Bimmer and unless they
start screwing them up, I'm hooked.
