Psychiatric Help 5¢
So, I don't know anything about cars. Zilch. Nada. Nuttin.
Right now - I'm a Transcon commuter, for 2.5 more commutes. And then, I'm finally going to be based at home. (Again) I was very lucky to have taken advantage of a subsection of our CBA and was able to participate in a base trade about 6-7 years before (statistically) I estimated I could hold the left seat on the west coast.
What this means is 7 years of being the plug in the base, 9-10 years of reserve.
Anyhoo... I currently drive a '99 Accord. An amazing car, perfect for a transcon commute, and no one is going to be breaking into it. (I gave it the Carolla treatment) Long story behind the car... I'd like to keep it forever, but I'm going to be going back and forth to work more. Ventura County to LAX (48 miles) and LGB. (68 miles each way) And I was hoping to take advantage of the HOV lanes, pay less for gas, and have a more comfortable drive.
Honda Accord Hybrid? Drove one, it was ok.
Honda Clarity?
I don't need to get anything tomorrow. But I was to take advantage of timing the best pricing on the best car for the mission. Actually, I'm looking towards the end of the year when I know that I probably won't get displaced or anything.
Oh, and now that i'm going to be "home more" on reserve, (yeah, right) the wife wants something I can fit two car seats in... so I can drag the kiddos around to their things.
What is the wisdom of the collective?
