Yes.

Three hours after the accident, I reluctantly suggested to all involved parties that the smart answer was to get a new Accord for the wife and pass her 2010 Accord down to the kid. This idea was met with the resistance of an iceberg and my foolish suggestion was discarded like the wrecked carcass of 2004 Accord.

So...unable to find a suitable used Accord to replace the wrecked Accord (aside from the suitable used Accord in the garage), I jumped upon this Subaru as soon as I saw it. I had to throw some time and money at it to make 100% certain that it would get my daughter home 100% of the time.

A few month's later, I began to hear subtle rumblings along the lines of "I miss my Honda" from one person and "Maybe I would like to get a new car" from the other. Suddenly, I'm a genius and I briefly enjoyed a rare, unanimous period of "You were right..." This moment marked the last time that I would take car advice from people who don't know E36 M3 about cars.

Honda was offering 0.9% financing on the few remaining 2014 Accords. A suitable color was located, a deal was struck, Mom's old car was passed on down the line, and now I have an extra Subaru and no place to park it.

Make me an offer...

I am suitably impressed by the rarity of this occurrence. Wish I could buy your car.
