Hi everybody. Long time no hablamos. What's going on?
Over the past few months, when I remember to, I have taken to taking pictures while driving. Sometimes at 80mph, sometimes at 0. I'm not the best photographer...I don't have the best camera...and I was taking these pictures with one hand while driving; please forgive any photojournalistic imperfections.
I also took a few of the blizzard and traffic conditions from thursday. Somehow, a picture of a traffic jam from the perspective of one sitting in it doesn't do said traffic jam justice. From exit 28 to exit 27 - approximately a 2 mile stretch - took me over 3 hours on thursday.
The best part of the traffic jam was sitting in the tunnel for half an hour, not moving. We spend the first 5 minutes or so playing a car-horn-symphony, when from a jeep a few cars in front of me, emerges an obvious stoned 20-something.
He grabs a snowball off the trunk of an adjacent caddy, and immediately begins lobbing snowballs into traffic. The guy next to me and I exchange glances, nod, and grab snowballs from our roofs, and return fire. Others see this, and get out of their car and join in. It was a massive, 20+ person snowball fight, that lasted for a solid 4 minutes. It put a smile on my face during an otherwise hellish commute.
I ended up abandoning my car in a garage downtown, and walking to the fleet center for the Bruins game. I was one of 1500 fans present for the Bs/Devils game. Believe you me - it made it all the better when I heckled the fuck out of those new jersey-based assholes.
Oh well. Enjoy the pictures.

You just made me open another bottle of red wine.
And I'm supposed to be going to work tomorrow.

But a very nice bastard.

BMW will likely offer you driving classes when you go to sign the paperwork and pick up the car. Take them. Spend the money and time. If you don't you will be either a) wasting your money on a car of which you cannot take full advantage, or b) losing control of your car and crashing, leading me or one of my cohort to crack wise about your lack of care/driving skill as we calculate your impact velocity
Hahaha, i agree, I already had some when I got my M Roadster though, awesome experience, esp. with a rear wheel drive car with a lot of power.
i've seen some cunts with them though.

I hate New England. HATE.
It makes me happy that I live below Dennis Quaid's cut-off line in The Day After Tomorrow.
========================
Probably one of the worst movies ever made.
P.S. New England rules. Let me rephrase that. Massachusetts rules
---------
Massachusetts is where I would banish all the people I hated when I rule the world. That, and Jersey.
I was out driving in that bukkake on Thursday night AND Sunday morning.
Fucking frozen tundra.....
---------------------------------------
massachusetts and new jersey into the same category?
and to think, i used to find you marginally attractive.

oh, ok. i only glanced at the door handle and it's very similar to the BMW door layout.
i read that the Mazdaspeed 6 was pretty fast. i'd love to drive one. the last Mazda i drove was an RX8 and the check engine light is still on, months later. i had that thing pushing redline the whole time i was driving it. it was a pretty fun car.

likewise, it better not be something better and faster, either. i've been watching videos of the twin-turbo 335i smack the fuck out of other fast cars in drag races all day and if i don't get one soon, i will fucking explode.

not a 335i. it's an 06 mazdaspeed6, and/or a 95 dakota.
the mazda's kind of shitty and has a ton of little problems and things i hate about it, but it was freaking dirt cheap and goes fast as cunt.

that had better not be a 335i or i will kill you in a jealous fit of rage. i just bought a new car so i figure i should wait at least six months before dropping 50 grand on another car. do you know how hard it is to find a garage for three cars in Chicago if you live in the city?
