Due Date

I just found out my car will be born on July 17th. It will then make its way to the US from Japan.

My car will be 1 of 10 in the world with my specific model year, trim, colour, and options level.

I'm gonna be a dad!

Pics of the car are here:

Don't you mean "daddy"?

Post a pic of a similarly equipped car of your make and model. Please.

Congrats in advance! Back in 93, we ordered a Camry with a specific look. It probably took 2 months longer than the promised date to arrive. This wouldn't have been so bad, except that the salespeople kept saying it would be in next week, etc. If they wouldn't have gotten our hopes up so high, we wouldn't have been so upset when it kept getting delayed. Anyway, hopefully things will work better for you, but try not to rely on using it too soon.

I'll start taking anti-anxiety meds now to get ready for that 'spririted ride' you talked about. -g-

Hopefully it will be uneventful, defect-free birthing process. Congratulations!

Best of luck with it, and many years of safe, velocious driving!

Now, is that going to be your station car? I'd be a nervous wreck, leaving a beauty like that in a public parking lot.

Dare I ask what it is about your specific combination that makes it so rare?

The badge is unfamiliar to me but it looks like a Honda Euro Accord to me - well thats what it is in Oz anyway

I truly do not mean any insult, but...

It is remarkable how similar the styling is to my car, interior and exterior. Maybe it is the Mazda influence on mine? It sure is a beauty. What about the headroom? Are you going to be bonging your noggin regularly? Regardless, it will look good around you.

I like. When I bought my 2003 Mitsubishi Galant, I was in dire financial straits, having just moved out of the house and the old Taurus literally disintegrated around me. I wanted a standard - they don't make them that way. Oh well. Next time, I think I'll try the Nissan Maxima.
