[2:22 PM EDT - Car talk.]

After driving out little boat for half a year, I've been through quite a number of situations where I wished I had some sort of feature. The ones that come to mind right now are:

  1. More horsepower - Having a small four cylinder engine moving the house I was driving doesn't make winter driving very easy. Getting stuck in the parking lot last winter wasn't particularly enjoyable.
  2. Power windows - I don't usually use the air conditioning, so I use the 4-60 method, but since I don't have power windows, it ends up being the 2-60 method (or 1-60 if I can't be bothered to lean over to roll down the passanger window).
  3. Tinted windows - I like sunshine, but too much and bad things happen to me. Tinted windows is a must. Especially for long drives on sunny days - I can feel the melanoma forming.
  4. (Powered) Removable Top - Okay, I had to throw this in. Not a must, but if I had the money..

This list will grow and shrink as time progresses, but hopefully, I'll have a good idea what I want from a car when it's time to start shopping for one.

While I'm on the topic of cars, before the game yesterday, we saw one of the guys from the other team drive into the parking lot in a Porsche. (It looked like a Boxster.) Come on, a twenty-something (and a young twenty-something at that) driving one of those?!? We looked at him and watched as he closed his top and got his equipment (from the front and back compartments - darned those mid-engine designs are cool), and came to the conclusion that we HAD to beat them. Which we did. Funny how things work out.

Finally, I usually don't do too many stupid driving things especially when there's someone in the car, but man, I can't believe I ended up in the middle of the road on Sunday.

Okay, enough about cars, it's time to eat.

Speaking of eating, I had a craving for poutine today, but once I got a whiff of the food (after I got it into the car) I knew I was going to regret this decision. Stupid stomach. *punches belly*

*doubles over*

Porches are so 80s anyway... So horribly "yuppie status symbol."

oops. typo. Porches are actually quite nice for sitting on, esp with a drink.

Porsches, on the other hand, are yuppie status symbols.
