The snow from this storm has weird properties.
The police just called…
With the asshole’s name and insurance information.
His name is Robert Paulson!
(Not really, but I’m trying to resist posting his asshole name. I’m tryin’ REAL hard, Ringo.)
(His name’s not Ringo, either.)
This is the asshole who hit my car because I was “an asshole” for not letting him go in front of me. He’s also the asshole who didn’t stop to exchange information, but who DID have to stop at a red light.
Aw, why you gotta be like that, Friday?
Aw, Apple! Why you gotta build a sweet computer with a name and looks to match my car and then go and make me hit the brakes when you leave out the optical drive??
WHY??

Today I spied another silver Mini, so I parked…
I used to have a Cooper. Loved that damned car. I’d get another one, but I’d get an S Works.
I got an S loaner a couple of times. The power is startling and intoxicating, even with the automatic transmission. An S Works with a manual would be like, whoa.
(My transmission is a joy, BTW. Six-speed [even in the base model], precise [very German], high quality you can feel with every shift.)
I didn’t like the additional mechanical noise the S’s engine made, though. And the stiffer ride was punishing. I can’t imagine what the thousand-mile drive to Chicago would have been like in an S, never mind an S Works.
Also, I really love getting 34-36 miles per gallon (14-15 km/l, for you metric peeps) while still driving it for fun. LOTS of fun. I’m now able to make a lot more yellow-light turns that I wouldn’t have previously attempted, thanks to its cornering prowess.
After I got it, my girlfriend started noticing Minis. She saw one make a turn, and said that it looked like a video game where they didn’t get the physics right. A car shouldn’t look like it’s going straight when it’s turning like that.
So I highly recommend whatever Mini Cooper floats your boat. They’ve got lots of ‘em. And you don’t have to buy into that “bonnet” shite, either.
Today I spied another silver Mini, so I parked next to it for a photo-op.
When I got up to it, I noticed that it’s a few years older than mine. You can see the distinct difference in the hood* architecture (aside from the scoop).
* I don’t care if they want me to call it a bonnet. It’s a hood. When I had a Korean car, I didn’t call the hood a “hudeu”.
This one time, I looked down and saw that I missed the 10,000 mile turnover.
Fuck.
Getting good gas mileage on the way to Chicago.
I think my car would fit in the back of that truck.

Maybe I’ll get a Hummer up front and put a Trojan in the rear.
What.
Thinking about getting this license plate frame for my car.
Whaddya think?

I had stripes and front protective shield put on…
I think I’m in a love with your car. I hope that’s not too weird.
Nah, I have nothing against polyamory. We can ALL love it. Especially since it makes my regular-sized wiener look like a big, novelty-size wiener.
I had stripes and front protective shield put on my Mini this week. I think the stripes tie the silver bottom and black top & mirrors all together. The shield will protect it from salt, sand, and rocks this winter. Although, I don’t like that the shield doesn’t cover the stripes like the one on the other Mini where I work. It’s strange that they did it differently.
They also fixed the iPod interface. I love controlling it from the steering wheel and having the display on the radio.
I got a big discount from the dealer because they screwed up and delivered the car four days late when I bought it. Now that they’ve followed through, I can return the survey. But Sales and Financing will still get low marks for their finger-pointing contest. I can’t stand it when people can’t just own up.

“But the Mini Cooper is so tiny! It’s hardly even practical, but if you were a grown man driving a Mini Cooper, and then you whipped out your junk and showed it to a lady, she’d be all like, ‘Wow, that junk is so large by contrast! Your entire body looks gigantic. Look at your hands on that tiny children’s steering wheel! Pick up your tiny car and put it in the trunk of my regular-sized car so I can take you back to my place, baby. (For sex!!!)’”teh tumblr(For sex!!!) is totally going to be my new line.
Aw, yeaaah.
