Things that are AWESOME...

So the first part isn't awesome: The 1998 Mercury Tracer that my son drove through high school and college died- the head gasket blew, and I don't want to put the money in it to repair it. The solution is awesome though: Let him drive my Elantra, which means I now get to drive this:

Following up on Into the Wild, I happened to rent The Kings of Summer today. The two movies oddly go hand in hand. Flying the coop, going off the grid, leaving the rents, man vs. nature. A bit of a happier ending this time, which was nice. The father in this movie was hilarious. It's worth watching just for the Wonton Scene.

Eh. White wasn't my first choice, but virtually everything else about the car was what I wanted. It's fine, but I was kind of thinking of one of the bolder colors- blue or yellow or something. White's fine though.

 

I test drove a Ford Fiesta first. It was great- smooth, well mannered, and.... well, boring. The Fiat on the other hand....

Josie is currently driving a Fiesta rental since her Impreza 5 speed got wrecked. She hates it :lol:

 

You didn't get the Abarth did you? I wasn't impressed with the seats in it.

I have a Sport. I've heard several complaints about the seats in these cars, but so far I think they're fine. Maybe I have the right build for them or something.

 

The sport seats should be comfortable. The ones in the Abarth I sat in were basically racing buckets. Didn't really seem like the best option.

So my son, who just bought a Fiesta in October, came home from work tonight and observed: "It's obvious your car is European; it makes my Fiesta look HUGE."

The Fiesta IS huge. It's only like 8" shorter than my Lesabre.

My boss told a certain coworker today to "stop talking". It was glorious.

 

I've been doing some internet wandering looking for stuff to do on a Saturday night in Toronto after a day at the HHoF for d4rk's bday. Ice skating, drinking, and then this gem...

Can we go ice skating with Rob Ford?
