I’ll admit I am biased as I lived in Las Cruces, attended NMSU, peered at the heavens through one of Clyde Tombaugh’s telescopes, and got to meet his widow and son, but dammit, Pluto should be a planet.
Everything will work out for you Kat, been reading your stuff for a while now and your posts are the bees fucking knees. Stay positive!
Yup. Honda has done a good job in the past on keeping the design aesthetic different between the two. I’ve personally have hated the Acura look since 2010.

好きです！おしゃれ車だよ！Jealous of inexpensive swappable parts for cool lightweight cars. Not-so-jealous of working in your parking lot and 2-3 hour commute. 頑張って！Keep it up, keep it real and make it yours!
