Congratulations to you and Honda Civic! It sounds like you just found the right car for you.
Is anyone else just dying to know the other cars she looked at? I mean, maybe the other close ones were the Nissans Gusteau & I were rooting for, or AOII Angel's Prius...
On a less silly note, it's pretty normal to get a car from a different dealership- especially when you know what features you do & don't want. Both our current cars came from different dealership than where we purchased.
