BMW, you've done it again.

I am a fan of BMW's.  Really, I think my favorite might be the 1988 BMW M5.  My wife had an 88 535i and I loved it.  I also really like the 2000 M5's.  But this 6 series.... oh man!  I mean, I liked the 6 series from back in the day, but not that much.  And the new 6 series don't really feel very sporty to me (even though I'm sure they are).  This RZ-M6 is where it's at.

Awesome Car Video

I love the shots in here!  I think this is the production company that shoots Top Gear.  Either way, it's awesome!

Rental Car Rally








I just stumbled across interesting.  It's called the Rental Car Rally.  Looks like a mini Gumball 3000 and it's limited to just rental cars (actually you can take your own car if you have to I think).

But hearing about this road rally made me remember something that I read in a magazine recently.  

Hertz is adding a few Corvettes to their fleet.  I'm sure they come at a premium and they a
ren't at every Hertz location obviously but this thing would be a blast in a Corvette!














Everyone would think that you were lying about it not being a rental car, but it really is!  The spaces for the rally are already sold out, but they do have 3 "reserve" spaces that if you beg them or bribe them you may have a chance.

It's raining again. Who could have guessed it...

Yup. Another day of rain. Wonderful.

I'm just doing a little pre-work blogging. Here is another photo of Jenni and I leaving to work "together." Awwwww.
















While I was driving to work, I saw a car I never thought I would want, that I wanted. It looked like the new Hyundai Azera.













I looked it up and got some details. Here is why I want one.
- Front, side, and curtain airbags
- 3.8L V6 (like my old Buick)
- Front wheel drive
- 17 inch wheels
- Heated side mirrors with power close and turn signals
- Dual automatic climate control
- Heated leather seats
- Power adjustable steering and foot pedals
- Rain sensing wipers

- 10 year / 10,000 mile powertrain warranty
- 5 year / 60,000 mile new vehicle limited warranty
- 7 year anti perforation warranty
- 5 year 24 hour road service
- 12 month / 12,000 miles replacement parts warranty
- oh, and it's got LED rear lights!

It looked pretty good! I was impressed. If you get to see one on the road, take a look at it. Maybe in 5 years I'll get one! Who know!













Well, I'm setting up my Avid to my specifications right now. Just setting the background/bin colors I like, setting up my view menu, my toolset layouts... It's nice to have everything just how you like it because you tend to be more comfortable and work better that way.

That's it for now, I'll try to post later at lunch or something. Jenni packed me a ham, pepper jack, and pickle sandwich. I love those! I also have some pecan swirls, sunchips, and animal crackers. See ladies, I'm easy to please.
