My favorite car ever is a red 1999 Honda Civic EX two-door with a moon roof. It was the only time I bought exactly the car I wanted, and it served me well for 120,000 miles. I got a very good deal on a 2006 four-door Civic two weeks ago and I like it very much, but it isn't RED and the four doors make it look just a bit doughty. It's a very nice car, but it isn't my red car.
I gave the red car to my 18-yr-old stepson. My previous two cars were in perfect condition when they ended up in the hands of teenages, and neither one lasted very long.
