The New Eclipse
On my way home from my doctor’s appointment the other day, I saw the new Mitsubishi Eclipse on the road. I’ve seen them before, but I always forget how different they look — very sleek and sporty, rather like a Nissan Z.
Have you ever heard of “house envy” — the desire to always live in a house bigger and better than your own? You might say that I have car envy. I constantly see cars on the road that I could totally see myself driving. If my finances didn’t prohibit it, I would probably run out and buy my newest desire every time.
It does make sense why I would like the new Eclipse, though. I’ve always been a sports car person, and with my Z not running, I’m experiencing manual transmission withdrawals — our other car is an automatic (boo). Since the Eclipse reminds me so much of the newest model Z cars, it’s natural that they would attract my attention.
Maybe what I should do is head down to the Mitsubishi dealer and see if I can test drive one — in a manual transmission, of course. It might give me my “driving stick” fix and get me through until my car is running again — plus it would be really nice to see how the Eclipse feels on the road!
