I bought a '97 Civic HX, 5-spd, gray, with dirty HX rims, a/c and power windows, but no cruise control. Finally convinced my good wife that I should buy a gas sipper for my 50 - mile commute.

It's about 2-1/2 hours drive from home. I saw it and drove it Thursday, will pick it up tomorrow (Sunday). I'm pumped! And, it looks like I have a road trip coming up in that car in early October. Cool.
