So, after much shopping, soul searching, deliberation, and personal growth, Kevin finally decided on a 2005 Honda Civic Hybrid, which he purchased on Saturday:

Actually buying the thing was about as much of an ordeal as I expected - we spent about 3.5 hours at the dealership actually buying the thing. And of course, the one that he wanted had to come from a different Bay Area dealership, so we had to come back 4 hours later to actually pick it up. But, this meant that they didn't have time to detail it, so Kevin had to drive back there the next day for that. But, the free detailing was worth it -- the car looks pretty sharp. I have posted all of the pictures that I took in the gallery.
