Pretty, uhh, normal (read: good) day today at work.
Went to the mall this evening to try on bathing suits with Olivia. For those of you who are curious, NO, I didn't try them on with her..I was just there for moral support.
When we got home, Olivia and Mike and I went to TGIFriday's for a later later dinner. The coolest part was that I FINALLY got to drive Mike's red 2000 turbo diesel VW bug. Wow. What a cool car. One thing struck me as I was enjoying the wind in my hair (sunroof) and cool-looking gauge cluster. The most important thing when customizing a vehicle is to HAVE FUN with it. Mike's car was fun. Not because it went from 0-60 in 3 seconds (even though it has impressive accelleration once the turbo kicks in at 2500RPM), but it was just fun to drive. It felt good, it was comfortable, and it looked good. This just further confirms my feeling that if you're gonna build it, build it so that it's fun. I think as I was nearing the end of my "relationship" with the teal truck, I had tricked it out so much that it really wasn't that much fun anymore, although it was awfully fun laying frame. It'll be fun to do it again. For those of you who have never heard the sound (and felt the grinding) of your own frame on the pavement, don't even try to understand how this can be a good thing. Just trust me..it's thrilling.

Seriously though, I loved driving the Beetle. They're a bit too cutesy for my tastes, but the interior screamed nothing but style. It drove very well, handled high speeds and hills quite well. It's one of those cars you where you feel cool just driving it around. It's pretty damned spiffy.
