Evan did you get the truck situation figured out? I wish I could help you but I'll be in Florida
I heard he had a co-worker with trailer willing to help when I was out in Parma last weekend
Anytime! (2thumbs)
Oh and I finally picked up my new car today
I've only driven 28 miles so far, but it's amazing.

Looks great Will!
test drove this today after all the snow was done. '12 civic Si. Had to go on a diaper run and the Honda dealer was across the street.
It impressed me more than I thought. I really liked it's interior w/ mooroof/sunroof standard and SI stitched into the seats and has more than enough space for Amber and a baby seat on the same side. Power wasn't bad, I felt it was very comparable to the MSP with the bonus of being quiet and the extra gear would take some getting used to. Clutch however felt very soft and unsporty and the handling was ok but I don't think anything I test drive will be close to how good the MSP is in that department. All and all it's not a bad car and would make for a nice daily driver, it just has a bad price in my opinion. The one I tested was just over $24k (pretty much all the options) and I feel it's about 4-5k overpriced. On top of that the sales guy told me he could only take $1800 off, $1000 of that being from Honda. If that's all they could do now on last years model I think it will be pointless this summer when I am buying a car so I can take it off the list.

for $24k, why not just get a speed3? I'm not a Honda fan, but they are very reliable cars. I looked at the civic when car shopping in the fall. To get alloy wheels and disk brakes you just about had to get an SI. If I'm gonna spend that kind of $$$, it had better have those two options and many more. it's not the late 80's anymore. disk brakes and alloy wheels should be standard.

We purchased our 2013 Speed3 w3/Tech Package and the Crystal White Bi-Color paint for roughly the same price as the Si.
I test drove it cause I was bored, it was there. For 24k I would rather get the speed3, now I know for sure.

The 6 is a rather large car. I'd much rather have a "compact car."
Good to know....hint hint Nick
I'm with on that, I don't need that big of a car for just me and occasional family use
our f-bodies were considered compact when new, at least the brochure for mine does. I would consider all those sub-compact.
