My Car

[bertine]

My car is awesome.

• In the last month I have put 1200 miles on it. One chunk of that was a 260 mile road trip to see my friends Sara and Nathan and their *three* kids.


• Now that I know how big it is, I am able to drive it around without feeling like I am about to hit people


• It is an automatic with a manual-shift mode. This seems silly but we went down a big hill and used the engine as a brake. Yes, Minnesota has a big hill, gwangi was shocked.


• It is really fun to drive. It handles nicely and it makes me want to go fast. I like driving now.


• I love having a sunroof, it is silly to be so excited about a hole in the roof


• I may have 60 more payments on it, but no interest. I still can't believe this.

I need to go get a carwash, I get free ones with the dealership and it is dirty. I think tomorrow night after work I'll go. :)

Yeah, I am still tired. I decided to start drink caffiene again until I get used to these pills. It isn't helping as much as I hoped.

The "manumatic transmission" isn't great in regular traffic but it will be handy out west.

That's weird that it left out the bullets.

I've pretty much decided my car's smarter than me about what gear(s) to be in. Especially with the two engine thing. It gets much much much better mileage if I just get it up to the speed limit and cruise-control it. Even in suburban traffic.
