My car as of last week is officially bobo’d (aka tainted).
With the car just turning 4 years of ownership and less than 6 months to pay off I get my first hit. While venturing off with Jen to feed our appetites at the local Ganache bakery, we barely made it in time to get a piece of my favorite black cow cake. Upon leaving the store I noticed Jen stalled from getting into the car. I hear a , “ummmm…. Michael, (you can tell it wasn’t good by the tone of her voice….) did someone hit your car???” I think at that time all this blood rushed to my head and a vein popped out. I said.. ” Doo wha(in so many words give or take)???” Yes, lo and behold someone hit my car and left no note. The best I can think of was it either happend the night before in my own parking lot or it happened in the cul de sac where I park it for the days I carpool. So no, my car I love so much wasn’t hit by an Elon student which so could have happened. Whoever it was…thanks for not fessing up.
This weekend was another fun weekend spent at my parents house down in tropic coastal Myrtle Beach. You may not see beautiful rainbows or smell exotic flowers but when you arrive, you can sure tell when life’s a beach. (okey so that tourist phrase is over done) This weekend was spent with the appearance of my sister as well as my parents, 4 other friends of my mom’s (all women…poor dad) and last but not least Jen my girlfriend. Traffic wasn’t so bad since years past, but that could be due to conserving tourists. The fireworks on the other hand, were in no means cut back. It also gave me an opportunity to shoot moving objects at night with my D80, which proved to be a bit of a challenge. Read the rest of this entry »
So in my opinion, Top Gear I think is one of the best reviewer of exotic cars out there. For those who don’t know who Top Gear is or even what they do. Top Gear is two things, first its a television series aired on the BBC hosted by Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May. Secondly they publish an amazing magazine that will cost you about $8 by the time it hits the US newsstands. From the shows to the magazine, these guys have a way of describing exquisitely each ride that they partake in. You really get a sense of how it feels to be in what seems to be an untouchable hand-crafted piece of machinery.These guys have it all, or do they?I’m not sure who gave them the wild idea of heading to the US so that they could taunt the southerners…but they did. Their mission was to head to the Dixie Land in search of true rednecks. They actually did a good job of blending in by dressing the same even driving southern cars…a beatup white pickup truck, a blue Cadillac and an old Camaro. But what you don’t know is what they had written across the vehicles. You’ll just have to see to find out. …I don’t think they will be welcomed back.
