    I've mentioned my completely awesome car in here before, but here is a picture of it about 1.5 weeks after a fresh coat of wax, right after I put new plugs and plug wires in (or maybe just before, I don't remember when I took the picture):

    The glovebox is so dumb!

    Wait. Don't you control the iPod with the stereo's interface? If so who cares where the iPod plugs in at.

    When I have some extra cash I'm gonna upgrade my stereo to one that has iPod controls (and hands-free cellphone support).

    I guess this might go here

    So I was just in an accident. My friend was driving, my other friend was in passenger, and I was back passenger. So we're turning right in an intersection, and a young woman came flying through speeding through the yellow. Took out our passenger side. So now my legs are all messed up, my friends car is totalled, and my passenger side friend is unconsious in the hospital.

    Naw, we were green, waiting in the intersection, turning left as it turned yellow

    like, um

    hn....

    I'd have to draw it, my head it a bit foggy

    Oh damn I totally wrote right up there. Sorry. Left, turning left. I'm thinking right because that's the side I looked out and saw the car coming.

    she would had to have run a red to hit you if your light was still yellow

    It could have been, there were alot of witness accounts that said that, but some said she was trying to run the yellow. I wasn't really sure, I was too busy

    but if your light was going from green to yellow, her's would have been red the whole time, not switching from yellow to red

    that would have required both her and your light to have been yellow at the same time, which is impossible unless the traffic lights were fucked up

    i think i might have this mapped out wrong in my head

    anyways, glad you're not dead

    Man, there was a fucking Murcielago behind me for a red light and a stop sign

    After I turned left, he floored it out of the stop, maybe because I'd been jack rabbiting and he wanted to show me how it's really done

    that thing fucking screams

    that sort of shit always makes my day

    how i understand it he was making a left on the yellow
    and the lady was coming at them, on the same road, heading towards where they just came from
    so when they turned left at the yellow, they presented the passenger side to the lady running the yellow

    Ok, I drew it out. We were waiting in the intersection for the other lane to go empty, and it went yellow, and no-one was there, and she came out of a parking lot, turned and tried to beat the yellow

    Apparently, when I came too, I was in alot of pain, and the first thing I said when someone asked me if I was alright was "Have you seen my glasses?"

    My friend woke up, he's got some bad whiplash

    Naw. My head has cleared up, but my legs are worse. I took the day off work tomorrow, I can't really walk. If she was going a bit faster, or hit us earlier in our turn, I hate to think what would have happened... nothing like confronting mortality on a saturday afternoon.

    Yeah that's why you wait till it turns red when you're the last car turning left. Never trust another driver not to try and beat the light let alone run a red.

    Yea, ha ha, we had some people behind us, so I think my friend wanted to go and let them follow

    I am glad we are relatively ok, I don't know about the young woman, she was crying and was carried off in a stretcher. I should be able to walk in a few days though.

    I drove a few Genesis coupes today.

    Didn't have time to get a proper feel for the 2.0T (though I'm really interested in it), but the 3.8 Track is freaking wild. Buttery smooth power delivery, rev-happy like a VQ, when the tail comes out it is easily controllable.

    Very nice car.

    Well as long as we're stereotyping the car ... it would never work. My car doesn't have a failed air suspension system dragging the trunk around, doesn't have silly wheels, and doesn't have a trunk full of subwoofers.

    Now, picking up chicks at bingo night is pretty easy with that car ...

    a few days before but it really doesn't matter because they just look up your name on their own list when you get there anyway. you don't need to bring anything.
