There are some in the blog. Truth to be told the chrome pisses me off so much I don't want to take pictures of Peter.

I think the pics of AY at night turned out great - haven't seen too many of them - but it seems it looks much more "gold" at night or at twilight - whereas it looks more yellow on a cloudy, overcast day...

First holiday in nine years, what can I say, I'm doing it right!

Life is supposed to be fun, and making fun of myself is way easier than others, I always can kick my own ass. Thanks for the kind words Joe.

I'll get some when the moon is up tonight. It's a super moon, it is supposed to orbit closer to land or something, and I will go to a desert if I get this answering shit done, and make my peace with the evil thing that ruins m life.

Yes - please do - a clear moonlit night should produce some truly stunning photos of AY...

The moon was awesome last night!

Damn academics and doctors all speak english too well. It was June and maybe one hour of quasi-darkness. It seemed like all the BMWs were driven by Russians or Swedes.

I will have to give Finnish & Saami another try; "Herhiläinen" has a great ring to it. For sure a great name while in USA, maybe switch back to "hornet" when it goes home to Europe.

This has got me thinking though, what to name my YMB M3? I had a 2002tii that had a nick of "paisano". My 1600-2ti was "tribal", but that was my nick too so not fair. Do any of the Smurfs have cool names? My sons might call it "Poppa" but I won't be to keen on that. I hope they don't put a beard and hat on it.

Asked one son and he laughed... suggested "Schtroumpf Coquet" as he speaks some french as evidently knows the originals.

I might have aspired to "Docteur Schtroumpf", "Schtroumpf à Lunettes", or "Schtroumpf Costaud"

I think you should find a play between your love of surfing and the smurf colour. The words just seem to lend themselves to it.

Or go with the smurfling or something like that.

It was. I spent a good deal of the night with the manual and a whiskey just to kick Candy's ass. Plan worked, I'm lost again, but at least were back on metric!!!

[Lups]

Chicago, here I come. Candy gets the ax before it, but now starting the hornet Peter the second

[M4TW]

Candy will soon be following you around like a little puppy dog. Your charms will wear her down. Enjoy your new ride in good health.

[stressdoc]

What a freak App it would be if one could spec a LUPS instead of Candy.

[stressdoc]

Do not speed in Ohio -- just follow some folks going no more than 9mph over limit.

Stop at Indiana dunes and go for hikes up the sand.

Avoid rush hour traffic in Chicago.

I think there is only one person on the planet that could download that app and not go insane in a week. My way of pointing out fuckups is a bit harsh at times.

Candy and I are at it again, she's not telling me good news about gas mileage. It's her ass that's taking the numbers down, not me!

Is there anything you like about Candy? I feel like she might save you at some point.

Congrats Banana! Drive it like you stole it.

So I haven't read any of the actual words in your blog, just the headlines and the pictures (I'm partial to picture books) and I'm ROFL. Major LULZ
Your writing style reminds of Chelsea Lately in a way.

[solstice]

Congrats Lups! I'm sure I'll see your car back in Seattle! Can't miss it

She doesn't understand that in this car I'm right, she's wrong, and she should say sorry so we could move on.

The navigation and I have issues, since one knows how I'm supposed to feed the street addresses, and I think you Americans need a nee system for those.

We are getting closer, I admit. I still would like het to be Andrew but I guess I have to adjust to female company.

No idea who she is, but sorry for her I am. No one should abuse any language like this.

Thanks Sol, just don't go into same fan boy mode I seem to turn men into. I swear I've spent hours today to be photo'd with the bloody car. I really ffucked up with the color. Daddy dear fucked up with the sex. This is starting to piss me off

Oh, being the only gal on a car forum makes for all kinds of attention. Plus you have a vocabulary like a fucking sailor, which helps.

For my part, I like your willingness to mock whenever and wherever it is due, which around these parts is a helluva lot given the number of posts you have and the average level of discourse.....
