And, my two favorites...

...the Aston Martin V12 Vanquish and...

...the Aston Martin DB9.

Went to the Montreal Car Show today. Had minor problems finding it but it was worth it.
Once inside saw lots of interesting cars, namely my absolute favorite Aston Martin DB9, there were some Bentley's, a bunch of BMW and Benz. Upstairs there were booths for Ferrari, Lamborghini, Maserati, and Porsche. There were also all kinds of normal variaties. Will post pictures soon, probably tommorow night.
Anyway, about half of the cars there were avalible to sit in I, of course, took advantage of this. There was a nice S-Class Mercedes there that I took the liberty of getting in to, loved it. Very comfortable and, with the door closed, quiet. Also a Jag X-Type, very nice. Land Rover Discovery's seats were a bit too hard for my likeing. Some very exiteing cars there, obviously. Things like the Mercedes-Meclaren SLR, Porsche Carrera GT, Ford GT (40), Lamborghini Merielago Roadster, Aston Martin DB9 and V12 Vanquish. Couldn't get anywhere near any of those ones though : (. As I said, pictures soon.

Walmart Fun

Stuff to do in Wal-Mart when the person you're with is taking to long...
1. Get 24 boxes of condoms and randomly put them in peoples' carts when they aren't looking.

2. Set all the alarm clocks in Housewares to go off at 5-minute intervals.

3. Make a trail of tomato juice on the floor leading to the rest rooms.

4. Walk up to an employee and tell him/her in an official tone, 'Code 3'in housewares and see what happens.

5. Go to the Service Desk and ask to put a bag of M&M's on lay away.

6. Move a 'CAUTION - WET FLOOR' sign to a carpeted area.

7. Set up a tent in the camping department and tell other shoppers you'll invite them in if they'll bring in pillows from the bedding department.

8. When a clerk asks if they can help you, begin to cry and ask 'Why can't you people just leave me alone?'

9. Look right into the security camera; use it as a mirror, & and pick your nose.

10. While handling guns in the hunting department, ask the clerk if he knows where the anti- depressants are.

11. Dart around the store suspiciously loudly humming the Mission Impossible theme.

12. In the auto department, practice your Madonna look using different size funnels.

13. Hide in a clothing rack; when people browse through, say PICK ME!

14. When an announcement comes over the loudspeaker, assume the fetal position and scream "NO! NO! It's those voices again!!!!And; last, but not least!

15. Go into a fitting room and shut the door and wait a while; and then yell, very loudly, "There is no toilet paper in here!"

~ MISSING PERSON ~

Well technically it's a month, but still.

Name - January

Last Seen - around Sunday the 15th

31 days long, coldest of the year

What's with this weather?!?! It's a Friday night in the middle of the coldest month of the year in Northern Vermont, I should be geting ready to go snowmobiling tomorrow, but I'm not...because there's no snow. So much stuff has been changed by this. We've missed two ski trips, we'd normally be snowshoing in gym, I could be at home, outside, and not bored.

Car Stuff:
Big news from my favorite car manufacturer tonight. That'll be Aston Martin. They've decided to build a practical car! It's called the Rapide. It's basically a four door version of the fantastic DB9. It's almost as fast too, the six liter V12 churns out 480 bhp, does 0-60 in under 5 secs and top end will be on the exiting side if 3 miles per minute...thats 180 mph. It's got some thoughtful details too. The doors are hinged slightly upward, so you don't hit them on high curbs. Nice. I'll sum it up at this point, it's almost as fast as a DB9, it's got twice as many doors, it's more practical with a hatchback, and it's as good looking...damn, I didn't expect that. Click on the little picture to get a bigger picture, then you can get an even bigger and clearer version.

I'd just like to take a moment to express my sympathy too the friends and family of the 13 tragicly dead miners in West Virginia. I've heard that the company's been sited for 208 safety violations in the past couple years. That's appalling. But it's not all that important, no matter what becomes of it, no matter how many lawsuits are fought and won, no matter how much the company ends up paying for it's mistake. None of that really matters. What matters is that 13 innocent people, just like you and me with friends families and lifes, are dead. They didn't have to die, and that's where it hurts.

Car Stuff: Bugatti Veyron
Tonight the newest really really fast car around, or one of them anyway. Not only that, it's the Fastest, most powerful, and most expensive road car today. 253 mph, 1001 bhp, $1.25 million. Lots of little details too.
Engine: 8 Litre W12 (basicly 2 V8's stuck together at the sides. Has 10 radiators, a bit heavy on fuel. Suprise suprise. Flat out you can burn 100
litres of gas in about 12 minutes, seriously.
Gorgeous too...see?
Awsome sounding.
Awsome looking.
Awsome performance.
what more could you ask for...other than maybe a lower price tag.
