It was a special day today.

I went into the Acura dealer to take a look at the Integra Type S. I had been interested in it for a while now, but it was nothing more than a passing interest. However, after talking with a few of the sales reps, they gave me a deal I could not refuse. They offered me the MSRP sale price of my 2019 Civic Type R as trade in value. In other words, they offered me a trade in credit equal to what I paid for the car brand new in 2019. 🤯 I took the deal and quickly got into a gorgeous “platinum white pearl” Type S.

This is not a typical “day in the life” type of event for me (clearly), but it is something I must write about. I’ll miss my Civic Type R; that car did a lot for me. It was a purchase of passion that followed my renewed interest in the automotive field. This interest pulled me out of a sadness that had followed me for years prior. It’s hard to explain, and it sounds very silly and materialistic. It wasn’t the car itself that put me into a better place, thankfully I can take the credit for that. The Type R did, however, symbolicly represent that special moment in my life where I felt a new passion for the first time in years. It represents the bloom of my 20s, even if that bloom came quite late (27). 

I don’t have many new photos of my new Type S as of writing, as it was pouring rain today. Fitting for a bitter sweet day; the beginning of fall in the USA. There will be more photos to come once the weather improves, but for now here are a few from my garage.

Here’s to my 30s, I suppose! I can’t wait to take this car on some new adventures.
