"Beeg Caah"

That's what Jude calls our family's latest purchase. Yes, it's time to give up my zippy little ride for a.... family car. A Honda Pilot. Time to fully embrace motherhood. It doesn't feel safe driving Jude (and future baby) in all the offensive-driving LA traffic. My only request was that the new car not be a minivan. Fortunately, we bought at the perfect time and for an unbelievable price below invoice, because we got one of the last brand new 2005 models. Kwang even had them throw in free gas refills, oil changes, and a Honda jacket. Yes, a Honda jacket. Only Kwang. Here's a pic of my muse Jude in his new "beeeg caaah" (translation: big car).

You should hear what Jude says when dad makes a muscle..."beeeeeeg arm"...i may have been the first guy ever to end a negotiation with a honda dealer by asking them to throw in a Honda jacket...but I got it!

kwang...nice picture of jude on your xanga page.  what kind of fatherly influence is that???!!  poor jude, forced language...he is still so limited in his vocabulary.  can you post a picture of this jacket that i am sure you are sporting daily?  how ghetto....i can understand ferrari drivers wearing one of those jackets, but honda?  not so sure 'bout that one kwang.  i am sure the honda guys were more than happy to give it up.  bahahaha!  btw, march madness???

hey! don't be dissing the minivan. when the second comes along and you are longing for automatic sliding doors you'll be wishing for an odyssey...trust me! notice the only people that are positive on pilots over minivans are the ones that have never owned a minivan?

I think I can say I did own a minivan. My parents bought the very first model back in '84 called the Toyota Van Wagon. Then we had a Nissan minivan... that I had to drive my friends around in during high school. I think they called it the "Han bus". I think that killed any future desire of mine for another one. I will admit, the auto sliding doors are pretty cool!

The jacket of the season for me has to be the Bomber Jacket. i love this jacket so much!!! I always get questions where i get it from and I'm glad to get it from Famous movie jackets. They have huge variety of leatherjackets, Women's Biker Jacket, movies jackets and lots of more.
