My wife thought I was joking when I said this would be our son's first car (he's 6 now), but I wasn't. However, life has taken my automotive needs in other directions, and I've accepted (maybe) that it's time for this one to go.

Let me know if you are interested in the car and have any questions.

Ownership history:

Purchased new in Southern California on Feb. 14, 2005 where it resided until
Purchased by me on 08/2006 at ~24,400mi and driven to Dallas, TX where it has resided since

Accident history:

The car has been in 4 very low speed collisions. Three of those damaged the rear bumper and the first two were repaired, while the damage from the third is documented in the photos. The other one caused minor damage to the front bumper, which was never repaired. The front bumper probably needs to be replaced anyways to deal with the ancient clear bra. I've toyed with the idea of putting a JDM front bumper, which is more compact and attractive, but never actually pulled the trigger.
