State Rt. 30

Yesterday, the entire day was virtually a kodak moment, and what did I do? I. forgot. the. camera.  Dammit.  Tara and I roadtripped it to Maryland to pick up another beater Honda for our collection.  This will be my 6th Honda* Yipeeee.  Mark can have his Tahoe.  SUV’s, to me, are like driving a school bus. No thanks.  Gas hogs!  This Honda is a ’90 Civic LX, actually in great shape the engine purrrrrrs, clutch is tight, brakes are good, no major mechanical problems.  Some rust over the usual Honda places–rear wheel well, but they touched it up.

We decided to take state route 30 instead of the interstate accross Pennsylvania.  I am so glad we did.  The drive was absolutely breathtaking. The trees and all their colors we so beautiful.  Picture purfect.  Yet I am pictureless. *smacks head*  Tara and I had lots of good conversation, bonding in between the ewwwing and awwwing and “will you look at that tree?!”  We hit areas with elevations of 2300 feet! We were literally driving in the clouds!  We had to drive with the emergency blinkers on at one point down these winding, spiraling hills.  We only had to drive 20 miles into Maryland. PA is one long-ass state. Not as long as Alabama though.  When we drove from Perdido Key straight up Alabama on our way home from vacation it was endless, I tell you endless.

*sigh* It’s gonna take me a day or two to get over missing this photo opportunity.

*My Honda History:

*97 Honda Accord lxi–I totaled 1/99  I miss the flippy lights.

*89 Honda Civic lx–still kickin’ @ 232,000 miles! Taught first born to drive in this vehicle, I have a strange attachment to this car.

*91 Honda Accord lxi–Tara totaled this gem this summer–I’d link you to the story but that entry has been hacked, baby, hacked.

*88 Honda Civic si–bought this car for $200 strictly to part out and turn a profit.  The structure was damaged, couldnt be saved, we did however take it a few times on some back roads and had lottsa fast fun. Sold $450 in parts off of it and salvaged some for myself. 

*93 Civic dx  We still use this car, not my fav model Honda, but I got a good deal on it, I make Mark drive it alot to work, truck sucks too much gas, and he travels 70 miles roundtrip daily.  Tara’s ex bf is wanting to buy it, I’m gonna sell.

*90 Cicic lx–Latest addition, my favorite Civic body type–the 88-91s.  I need to bond with this car.  I’m going to clean it top to bottom tomorrow.
