Also found a sweet new background for my radio last night - check it out!

Nice! What kind of Vdub do you drive? I LOVE VW!

Beiber has so much to learn about getting older He's a kid who has had a silver spoon is his mouth for a while now so he just doesn't understand yet.

Morning all! Hope everyone saw the links above, there are some good ones there. Perhaps I'll go back to posting in the afternoons instead of at night? Anyone have input?

Also, a little rant: I was on the way into work this morning, reading the free Boston paper. I was flipping past the gossip page as usual, but something caught my eye. It was a quote from Justin Bieber about the UK's Prince William losing his hair: "I mean, there are things to prevent that nowadays, like Propecia. I don't know why he doesn't just get those things. You just take Propecia and your hair grows back. Have you not got it over there?"

Hate that everything that comes out of that kid's mouth is considered news. Blech.

I'm ok with whenever you want to post it. I like reading it.
And I have to agree with the Bieber statement. He's a teeny bopper's dream, not a doctor or spokesperson.

I still don't have an N7 here yet either...have to wait till after the wedding.....
TGIF folks!!!!

Well, at least for a while I have a partner in non N7 land

Honestly BB, you already have an iPad so there is that.

Razor, post whenever you like. I have often read most of the links by the time you post, but that's because I'm an rss junkie. But you frequently find a gem that is a must click link for me.

Rabbits are awesome! It was the first car my dad had bought!
Here is my baby! The first car I ever bought with my own money!! This is a 2004 VW Passat GLX with the 30v V6 in (The same v6 found in the Audi A4's)

Going to buy new headlights and rims for this guy very very soon

Yes, but its not new.

Saw something on the road here in Alabama last night that I honestly never thought I would see here. It had a local tag so that was even more strange that it wasn't someone from somewhere else just driving through. A Tesla Roadster Just spent nearly 2 weeks on the west coast and didn't see a single one, but get back home and see one within a week. Crazy.

 

[AntimonyER]

There are 3 different Volts I have passed on my way home from work, in rural back roads in SE Ga. Same feeling for me.... Really?!

I actually see quite a few Volts on a regular basis here. But a $110,000 Tesla Roadster?? Wow! Told my wife when we saw it that I'd give up my pinky finger for one of those....I then backtracked upon the realization that I do use my pinky sometimes...I figure an appendix would be a fair trade though.

The only electric car that has ever interested me, mainly because it has enough range to get to work and back...

I just saw my first Volt the other day. Didn't seem too special. Runs on coal instead of gasoline.

I live literally down the street from the Tesla factory here in Fremont, CA. I see them quite a bit, but mostly in what's called the "Ruby Hill" area of Livermore, CA - rich people, wineries etc. I spend a lot of time there since that's where my girlfriend lives and these guys are on highway 84 all the time trying to pass the normal folk.

Yeah, I actually am very interested in the Model S. Even the base model at 160 mile range would be nice. No oil changes, no gasoline. I know there are other inherent maintenance costs with electric vehicles, but the gas and oil elimination every month would free up enough money to justify the extra monthly payment over a typical new car.

Er... what?

 

[Unforgiven]

Er... what?

Power generation, sorry, just a snarky comment on my part. Could have been nuke, natural gas, or any other power source.

Well yeah, but it's still overall less emissions being released into the atmosphere.

Yeah - we did too. Seemed like a pretty nippy little sucker...

Yeah, I know, poorly placed sarcasm on my part.

No oil change??!!!! That's music to my ears.

 

[DarthSilentBob]

Depends on where you live. Here in doodah with coal fired plants, it's debatable. In the northwest with hydroelectric power, absolutely.

 

[Stigy]

I've seen quite a few volts in the NY/NJ area. Nothing fancy and no one seems to look twice at them though. I'd love a Tesla though.

My friend just posted this to Flickr of another friend's car - love this shot.
