Through all this F-ing snow, my Protege, or “the shoe” as Andy named it, is still alive and ticking — kind of. A few weeks back the A/C compressor locked up, which is tied to the power steering. A $700 problem according to the guy at Star and Northwest Auto Care. So, I’ve had no air conditioning (no problem, it’s been 0 degrees outside anyway) and no power steering (huge problem when the steering is already hindered by a foot of ice and snow). Not to mention the brakes need to be replaced soon and the whole front end creaks like this guy’s bed every time i hit a bump.

And considering my car would barely qualify as “fair” condition on its report in Kelley Blue Book without the broken compressor, I took the plunge a few weeks ago and signed up for a new 2007 Honda Civic.

New Civy

I wanted a stick shift, so I still haven’t received the car because Honda doesn’t make many stick shift Civics here in the states. They’re supposedly huge over in Asia, though.

By the way, if you’re in the market for a new Honda in Columbus, just go to straight to Roush Honda. And ask about Honfidence.

Hopefully the Civy will arrive soon. There’s nothing worse than driving a broken Prot-e when you already approved a new car.
