Auto Show etc

Went to the Chicago Auto show yesterday. What we see here is what represents an additional $700 a month for your hero. Cos if I didn't think it before when I waxed poetic about the convertible camaro, I definitely am signing the fuck up for one as soon as they are avaialble. Of course, that's assuming I can obtain one for around 30k....not made of money here ya know? And based on principle, I'm not about to kick my current ride to the curb. Do I really need two brand new vehicles when I live in the city and barely drive one as it is? No...but if that's the first thing you ask after reading that, then we ain't got nothin' else to talk about.

This years crop of cars was pretty much what I expected. Drew's pics of the affair are here. The Honda Accord got best concept award, and I'd have to say I was impressed. The Accord would do well as a coupe. Dodge didn't bring the new Challenger, although I don't think they really did anything with it since last year, so that's understandable. One thing that always happens when I'm at the Chicago Auto show is I end up being imprssed by Kia of all companies. The Amanti gives you a ton of car for 'not that much money'. I mean, for under 30k to have a car with a V8, full wood/leather and all the bullshit yuppie things like "seat warmers" and shit is a really good buy. If you can deal with the fact that you're driving a fucking Kia, you could do worse. Of course, i can't stomach that notion, so it's not like I'm going to buy a Kia or anything...still, most impressive.

This week I'm going to revamp the Spokeeasy website. We're finally getting the ball rolling on things for this summer.

I believe this one applies "Unless each man prodiuses more than he receives, increases his output, there will be less for him than all the others", doesn't it?

This one makes sence "One's first step in wisdom is to kuesstion everything - and one's last is to come to terms with everything."
