As some people already know, Nicky has an orange colored Chevy Aveo. Hence, you've probably seen me driving or riding in it as well. If you're not familiar with this particular car, it's because it's a deceptive little turd and not something normal people would typically ever consider buying. It poses as an "eco" car due to it's size and shape. Unfortunately it's not really that great on gas mileage at lower 30's. That's not bad but it's not really an advantage either. At least if you drive one of those tiny cars that really are eco friendly you have the satisfaction of saving money and the planet.
The Aveo's deception doesn't stop there. It may sport the Chevrolet brand but it's actually a Korean made Daewoo. It's the America sold version of the Suzuki Swift, making it's parts fairly pricey. Nicky has had it for about 7 years and it has been falling apart from day one. This thing is so lame that even Haynes and Chiltons, the two biggest auto repair manual companies known to man, don't even make repair guides for it.
Lastly, it's just so unmasculine. You might think that it's a perfect fit for a girl but Nicky doesn't really like it either. She would much rather have a beefy classic muscle car. The only bit of good that I can boast about this little rolling orange nugget is that it's surprisingly roomy and the hatchback is quite handy. Big deal. You can get that with a billion other cars.
I just felt like bitching about that damn car. I can't wait until we pay it off and we have the option of selling it for something better for the earth or with a little bigger balls.
