The other day I was goofing around on Wikipedia, and for some reason I bumped into the entry for the Ford Pinto, a completely little econo-car from the 70's. Perhaps more significant was that it was one of my very first cars. So I decided to make a list of all the cars that I/Kristie & I have owned. I started looking for pictures, and that's how we got here.
1990 Honda Accord LX 4 Door
Before Kelly was born, we had decided that we needed another car, since we had sold my Civic even before we moved into our house. Naturally, the car was to be a Honda...but we did look at other options. Subaru had just introduced the Legacy, and I was intrigued with the AWD. We drove it and it was nice car, but in the end it wasn't a Honda and I couldn't convince Kristie that she would look "cool" driving a Subaru wagon (neither of us liked the Legacy sedan). We also drove the Civic AWD Wagon, but it was very gutless and wasn't much bigger than the Civic Si, except for 4 doors.
So 3 days after Kelly was born, we headed over to the dealership and bought a brand-new Accord LX sedan. Sure it wasn't AWD, but that was okay. Not a wagon, but Kristie wasn't ready for that anyhow. It had a number of firsts for our little family: first 4 door (we were a "family" now), first car with A/C, power windows & locks, and built in cup-holders! It also had those annoying motorized seatbelts...which were totally goofy, but did give us and insurance discount. 
We bought the 5 speed because I still wasn't going to let go of my cheapness (automatics were more expensive...)
We bought the 5 speed because I still wasn't going to let go of my cheapness (automatics were more expensive...)It was (and still is) a very dependable, sturdy vehicle that is today my mom's car as it was a player in one of my dad's and mine many car swap deals.
