15 Years with the Sun Bucket

Sorry for the lack of posts in the past couple months. Things have begun ramping up in my life that Infamous has been the only person in the IJ tower cranking out whatever it is he cranks out on Import Junkiez. I have been spending my time running around getting married as well as preparing to have a baby. Yes, its like I woke up one day and said, "Today, I think I'll go make me a family." Little did I know that would entail a lot of changes. For instance, gone are the days of spontaneously jumping on a plane enroute to destinations around the world or those weekends filled with grinding out video games on no sleep.

Yet, one thing that I may have a harder time departing with is my 1995 Honda del Sol, a.k.a. Buddy the del Sol. We have been inseperable since the day we drove off the lot of Gardena Honda. There was little doubt what kind of car I'd be driving once I finally bounced out of high school and right into college. At the time, my dad had a '76 Civic, my mom with the '85 Accord, the brother with a '90 Civic followed by the sister with the '92 Prelude. So it was inevitable I'd be getting a Honda. In an effort to differentiate from the flood of Civic coupes, hatches and sedans overflowing the high school parking lots of Southern California, I settled for the awesomest little car Honda made for $15k out the door. It was so awesome that I was stopped at a gas station to be asked if it was a new Porsche. Yikes, dude must've been blind. "Honda? Really? $15k OTD? Wow. del Sol..." Is all the guy could say.
