This is never fun. This week I’ve had to say goodbye to someone I grew very, very close to over the last few years. Our time together was wondrous and occasionally maddening. Any relationship worth having usually is. Those that make you the happiest — by definition — can hurt you the most. It all [...]
It started a few weeks ago. I started eyeballing cars. No good can come from this. My 2004.5 Volvo S40 T5 has been good to me. It’s in wonderful condition (after having been replaced with a new one a little over a year ago) but the troubles I had have scared me away from Volvo. [...]
Nathan started a ‘show me your car’ meme, which gives me an excuse to talk about my car. Even though Nathan sees me admiring my car all the time, I’m still not one to disappoint: That’s my darling. 2004.5 Volvo S40 T5 with sport and convenience packages. Xenon HID headlights, body kit, etc. ~215hp rolled [...]
I’m try not to talk shit about people when driving. Everyone has bad days and makes the occasional mistake. I’m no different. Today, however, must have been the day when quotas are caught up and filled. Some highlights: An SUV nearly running into a curb @ 40mph. Not a rounded curb but a square one. [...]
It’s really more than I would ever spend for a car, but damn if it isn’t badass. UPDATE: Jaxn asked me via IM what the 0-60 was: 4.6 seconds. That seems rather anemic given a 507hp V10. Perhaps I’ll just stick with the M5. When configured to my liking via BMW’s site the M5 is [...]
Last night was Jeremy’s laundry night and I wasn’t in the mood to play WoW so we met up with Kevin and crew at Buffalo Wild Wings in Murfreesboro. I got to check out Kevin’s 5G iPod and was very impressed. When we got back Jeremy and I started watching clips of Family Guy from [...]
If you are at all interested in cars, I highly recommend that you check out AutoBlog and their coverage of the Frankfurt Auto Show. I’d attempt to localize the steeds that excite me the most and post them here, but the sheer volume pushes this into the realm of impossibility. Just go frolic in the [...]
Euro-only Ford Focus ST specs and pricing: Why oh why can’t American car manufacturers understand that if they sold cool cars like this in the US, they might not get ignored? I’m biased because my beloved and this car share a chassis and many features. (Via Autoblog.)
All-New 2006 Volvo C70 – First Look. Drool.
Jaguar Takes the Cover off the 2007 XK: I like the Jaguar coupes, but I think this one crosses into my want-one category. On second thought, there’s a little too much nose on it. (Via Autoblog.)
