New car search

I've been thinking about buying a car to replace the VW Passat that I've had since 2000. It's been a great car, but my urge to move on is pretty strong now.

I am deciding between the BMW 335 Coupe, and the Audi A5.

I think I am going to go with the A5, since it really stands out, and the 335 looks just like all the other thousands of 3-series cars that are driving about.

Here are some random A5 pics to look over:

They grow up so fast...

Today my Mini turned over 10000 miles.

I have driven it about 1600 miles in the last year and a half. Not too much, but I am driving it more now. It's terrific fun around town and everyone loves it.

:-)

A few pictures. Sorry for the quality, but my iPhone is a bit blurry and the angle was hard to get.

Stuck in MSP

This blows. The only thing that keeps each airline in business is the sheer crappiness of all the other airlines.

Driving theme songs

Dukes Of Hazzard Theme by Waylon Jennings

(download)

I use this as my unofficial theme song when I am driving around town. However, if I am driving eastbound, then my theme becomes:

When I was young I had a Dukes of Hazzard pedal car. It was the best car I have ever owned. Even better than the Knight Rider big wheel I had after it.

This is a really bad photo, but it is the only one I could find on Google Images that proves it ever existed:

Here is a photo of the big wheel. I had some good times with this.

At the time, my friend Chris had a toy KITT car that actually talked when you pressed in the rear license plate. This is super common now when every 10 cent toy makes noise, but back in the day it was truly amazing. I can still remember how envious I was and how much I wanted one of my own... :-)

That toy is still widely acknowledged to be the greatest toy ever made.

OK, not really, but it was pretty awesome.
