Farewell Honda, Hello Nissan!
I regret to announce the untimely demise of a close friend of over five years, my 1992 Honda Civic. This so-called rice rocket had been ailing for a couple years. The A/C didn't work so passengers had to endure sizzling temperatures during the summer months. The radio and cassette player didn't work so passengers had to actually talk to each other. You get the picture. However, I have a lot of good memories with the car and it helped me to go about God's work.
Unfortunately, the coolant system malfunctioned a month ago and the car overheated, cracking the engine head. Since repairing the vehicle was too expensive to justify and I needed a reliable car for my clinical assignments for the next six years, I began car shopping.
To make a long story short, I recently became the owner of a 2003 Nissan Altima 2.5S. I believe that the Lord led me to this car and allowed me to buy it for a good price. Although the mileage is a bit high, the condition of the car is excellent and it should provide good transportation for me through residency. It is also quite spacious and has a fairly powerful engine for a 4-cylinder.
To be honest though, I'm really just enjoying being able to listen to the Bible on CD in my car, and of course, having climate control that actually works!

Congratulations on your Nissan! My first car was a Nissan Altima and I loved it. Finally after 248,000+ miles I sold it last year and bought a newer car. You didn't go wrong purchasing a Nissan. (BTW, I turned my entire family on to Nissans -- parents, sister.)
May the rice rocket rest in peace.
I agree with what Staci has said. I have a 97 Nissan Pickup that I have had since my Freshman year of college. I had a problem with the alternator but other than that it has been very reliable. It has taken me out to CA and back so I think you made a good choice in choosing a Nissan.
Nice car! It rides nicely, too.
Seeing that you car has both our names on it (Al Tim A.), and that my name comes first, does that mean that half the car is mine too? :-)
I think I actually saw you drive that a few days ago... Say, what ever happened to your rice rocket? I only got to ride in the rice rocket once!! (or was it twice?)
God answers prayers.
so sorry to hear about the passing of mr. rocket. however, i just saw the evidence today - your rice rocket is still parked out in front of your house. by the way, i like your new car. when do i get to cruise in it? =)
