Monkey Attack

A guide? I don’t need a guide.  I needa way out.

3. No seat sharing. When girls sit on the arm of my chair or in my lap or next to me in a one-person seat,

…

There are some cold women out there.

Techcrunch has short overviews on the up and coming 'dating' sites (get it, up and… aw never mind).

So, I’m still looking at cars, but just in case, I put in an order for a Saturn Sky.  It should be herre in 6 to 8 months.  Then I might buy it.

Its the same platform as the Solstice, but the Saturn dealership is much easier to deal with. And the body style of the Saturn is growing on me.

Hey, was that an Element?

OK, I’m not a sports car guy.  Besides the fact that I way more than some of these cars, I’m just not that guy.  If I WAS buying a real sports car, I would have to get a Lotus Elise.

Kinda.  If I get a smaller bag, and don’t carry all my stuff.

So I am really diggin on the new Toyota SUV.  Its like if my Element got a sense of self confidence and a thyroid problem.  So I go to the dealership and check one out.  A couple thing I want to point out:

1. I have gone to three dealerships to check out various new cars in the last few weeks.  Once I was ignored until I walked out (fuck you Saturn Sky), and twice, coincedentally, I got the black sales guy.  I’m not saying its meaningful, but I am muttering RACISM to myself angrly.
2. The car looks badass from across the lot, but slightly toyish from up close.  The door handles suck, and the rear lights look a little silly.
3. The inside is smaller than the Element.  It doesn’t make sense, but it felt smaller, or at least smaller than something that is that big outside should be.
4. Dealer markups have started.  I configured one online, and it comes to about $26k.  At the dealership they pretty much start at $30k, though with the options I want.

If I had the money, this would be the car parked next to my other ‘if’ car, the Pontiac Solstice. If I had ridiculous money it would be an Aston Martin and a Range Rover Sport.  If I had Bill Gates money it would be a Unicorn and a throne carried on the stooped shoulders of all who would defy me.  Or maybe the Range Rover still.

Yes, I drove, and would buy, a yellow one.

Dead sexy.  Like an 350Z banged a Chrysler 300.
