It's not champagne!

Well, Dad finally broke down and bought a hybrid car. But what a car! Honda continues to lead the auto industry. This baby has a sweet little V6 engine that turns itself off at stops and economizes down to 3 cylinders when it's humming along on the highway. In addition, its metal hydride battery is recharged by regenerative braking providing for a much more efficient IMA drive train.
Unfortunately, I was so excited about the engineering specs (and the thought that with Honda's reliable engine technology this might be mine in 15 years) that I blew chunks all over the hood of the new car. Honda was calling the paint job "Graphite Pearl" - I wonder what color you'd call it now?


Just around the block, dad, please?
