time has come
as many of you know i will be moving to california coming in a month or two. and my mom bought a new car that she would like me to use for the drive there and living....sooo....Ill have to depart with the accord....sadly enough...
the new car is a 2000 Toyota Echo..now i know you all will laugh because it is an echo...but the thing that appeals to me about it compared to the accord. I don't have to worry about someone breaking into it (as likely). and because I am a student at Brooks people target students from that school in particular because they can get expensive equipment easily.... and another reason...it is stock..and runs at 36mpg and 41mpg on highway... I'll miss the accord so much...

the main main reason I am willing to give the car to my lil brother is that this echo has only 47,000 miles...the accord now has 141,900 miles

Aww that's sad. Darin you have the nicest accord i've seen, but you gotta do what you gotta do. Hopefully the next owner can take good care of her like you did.

I am bigger than an Echo. Seriously...this whore across the street from me used to drive one. I bet if I laid down next to that thing I'd be longer than it. I'm pretty sure that thing would fit into the trunk of my friend's '92 Crown Vic.

for it being so small it's actually holds its own in its subcompact class. a curb weight of 2020lbs it is quite peppy with the DOHC but limited obviously with its 1.5litre engine. steers very well, stiff suspension so it sticks to the road and super quiet. granted it doesn't look spectacular it's fun to drive like i previously stated and you don't feel like you're driving a tiny car when you're behind the wear because it sits higher than most subcompacts....all in all I actually kinda like

1.5L, eh? So a 2 liter bottle of soda would give your car penis envy?

Well good luck man. You know what we all think of your accord over the echo....but things have to be done. Why do you think I sold my Del Sol. I needed to pay for school. And I did...it happens..Good luck though...

^True...but hassle is hassle. I sure as hell wouldn't want to go through all of the trouble of international shipping if I didn't have to. Besides...there's a lot of shady fuckers trying to do business outside the U.S. Ask Stefan...he knows.
