Hee! Are you going to name your car, Lyra?
HB = hatchback. For some reason, considered a three-door.
The new-to-us car is a '98 Saturn SL1. It's plum. We've named it Moya, and we should be picking it up tomorrow.
We probably could have held out for an SL2 with more stuff, but a: looking for a car when you have a baby is a pain in the ass; b: this came in at about a grand less than I was expecting we'd have to spend; and c: it's plum, and I liked the color.
A and B may be elaborate justifications for C in this case.

Or a five door for four+hb.
Kiwis don't need refrigeration.
What do they do with their milk and meat?

True. I've been in such a Civic-centric world since '97 that I manage to forget that the other type exists.
Heh. We've had three cars since '97, all of them Civics. Any car we have purchased has been a Civic (all previous cars were family cars, for both of us).
This marks a major departure for the Marcontell household.
So, I have a 50-lb Australian Shepherd mix. He was rescued from living under someone's hosue (the someone was threatening to board up under her house while the puppies were there. Some people.) and when he was a wee pup he liked to sleep under the bed. Once he made 6 months or so, he didn't really fit. He'd sleep with just his head under teh bed, or he'd lie down under the coffee table. That was about 3 years ago.
Monday night we had a thunderstorm. He's afraid of thunder. He somehow managed to squirm under the bed, where he slept peacefully. Until mornng, when he couldn't get out without DH lifting the edge of the bed for him.
When i got home from work yesterday, he'd gotten himself stuck under the bed again. I don't know why. And last night when we went to bed, he tried to crawl under the bed again, but could only get halfway.
You know, I really did think I had a point when I started this.

Proud owner of a '96 Civic DX HB myself. Electric blue - her name's Illyria.
Apparently, I shold have said "kiwifruit" or "Chinese gooseberries". [link]
Though now I'm wondering just how large Jesse's desk drawer is.

My favorite kind of dog, so no point needed, really.

Yeah, it's called Ruby (red car, what can I say?). It's a '99, but it's only had one owner and it seems like s/he took good care of it. This is the first time I've ever had a car that was mainly mine -- I only learned to drive for real about a year ago, and we managed with one car until I started this job. Plus, because it's a little older, we managed to save a couple thousand.
It sounds like your Saturn is very spiffy. I love purple cars.
EDIT: This conversation compelled me to go out to the parking lot and look at my car. It is, in fact, a Honda Civic EX, not a DX. It is still shiny and red.
