I miss my car

I started smelling a 'sweet' smell coming out of my car last week. It was kind of like a maple syrup smell, but not as good. From my really old 1980 Honda Accord I had in the past, I knew this could be the head gasket, but there wasn't a whole bunch of white smoke, so it most likely was a leak in the coolant system. So I took it in yesterday to the dealer and they called me later to say the leak was coming from the bottom of my engine and the engine bloc would have to be replaced. They had a bulletin on it though, so it's all going to be covered. But since they basically have to take my engine apart, I'm going to be without it for up to a week, so I get a rental.

My rental car is a Nissan Versa. It's the base model for it, and although I like the looks of the hatchback version of it, the sedan is kind of boring. Especially in silver (I usually don't like silver cars, they're boring to me - sorry to anyone with a silver car - your car looks beautiful in silver :). Still, it gets me from Point A to Point B. I wonder if I would like it better if it was an upgraded version. But it makes me miss my Civic. I miss my audio controls on the steering wheel, the input jack for my iPod, and my sunroof (I didn't realize before how much I like the option of looking up to see the sky if I would like to.

I didn't like sedans for the longest time. They all looked boring to me and seemed like they were just family cars, like minivans, but a little cooler (not much). Then I saw the 2003 Nissan Altima which I fell in love with and bought. It was a great car before it's engine acted up. I like the looks of my Civic, although I do believe someday whenever I buy a new car, I'm going to go for the coupe version of a car.

Well, hopefully I'll get my car back before the weekend. It'll make me really appreciate that car!
