I'm not really into cars, although I watch Top Gear coz...well, do I really have to say why?
Did anyone see the Robin Reliant Rocket? Or the Carboats? Or the Cow? LOL brilliant show!
Anyways, I've been driving for just a bit longer than Stumpy. We had the same driving instructor, and I will have been driving for three years now on the 23rd March. Time flies when you're having fun...or driving, in my case.

Well, I bit the bullet yesterday and ordered a new BMW 328i Coupe. I was able to negotiate for a higher starting salary than I initially received, so I figured I may as well spend the extra balance on a car payment  . I went for the "Space Gray" color (appropriate, I know). It's darker than silver but lighter than graphite, so it really shows off the little styling nuances. I drove the 335i as well, which was very impressive with the twin turbo engine, but judging by the fact that I was cruising at 120mph (over 190kph) without even realizing it, I think I'd have landed myself in jail if I'd gotten that one  . The 328i is still a very good performer, and it handles like a dream. Truly the Ultimate Driving Machine(TM)  .
Unfortunately, I will have to wait 4-6 weeks for it to arrive. They have to build it and ship it over from Germany.

Technically I graduate at the end of April, but I've already accepted a job (starting on May 7), and it will take about two months for the car to actually arrive, so the timing works out very well  . It will apparently be more like 6-8 weeks. D'oh.

Things are moving along on the projects. I take it you did not get the car?

how about getting a nice and reliable bird of prey? it has a decent speed and gas consumption per mile rate, and you also get a nice set of what has become the peek of privacy tecnology: a cloaking device, as well as a pair of disruptors which fire some nice and shiny green thingies that remind people of nature, and a torpedo launcher in the front, for those annoying school buses and whatnot!
All of this for the incredible price of U$S 299,999,999,999,999.99 (taxes not included, the ship might not actually be as well received by your neighbours as the commercial stated)
Ok, I admit it, I'm so bored right now...

Hello Eon. That is a great idea. We should all go green. Save the planet!
BTW, it is good to see you are back. Even a model or two would be great. We need to get the ships uploaded for the next phases of game development to proceed.
