Finally... The soccer mom is heading back to her minivan
SUV & Truck sales are falling!
Maybe it will be a little more safe on the roads for small cars & motorcycles, well maybe not. Less dangerous accidents?
btw: hybrids are not the solution. Just wait until you have to replace the batteries!

Mercedes drivers catching up to BMW drivers' skill level?

For the suburban man who truly has too much money, I present the:

Alton F650 XUV
The F-650-based XUV was built by Alton Manufacturing and carries a GVWR of 25,999 lbs. That makes the 660 ft-lbs of torque generated by its 7.2L Caterpillar engine seem paltry. Besides the big-rig-meets-Excursion bodywork, your nearly $200,000 expenditure for this XUV will get you hardwood floors, custom captains chairs, a 42-speaker sound system, two drop-down 16-inch TVs plus a 42-inch plasma, four computer workstations, plus a train horn.
For $200,000 I'd rather buy 10 Vtec Mini's or anything other than this land tank for homo sapien, vegrandis phallus.

Week two, bits!
As I sit here at the fvcking toyota dealer... I'd really like to have something to do. like um, smoke! Well, not really. I've had little in the way of cravings. No cheating at all since I stopped. So, I am going to eat something totally redonkulous! I've been on a diet too... 18.5lbs since Dec!
jebus, can I make things harder on myself?
In other news, I had to get some EVDO cards for the CEO & EVP of my company. Both are mac users, so that means I have to support them. That also means I get an EVDO card! w00t! These things are smoking fast. 1148kbps,d/573kbps,u !!! Sprint. Merlin EX720. Native OSX driver support.
ok, enough geeky-ness for today.

Never give your kid your keys!
