I have 4 tires and a steering wheel!

I did it! Now I have a car (goodbye lousy Chrysler Sebring with your huge clumsy body and horrible visability!).

Behold: The 2001 Mazda Sport Protege. Complete with sunroof and spoiler.

I never had a sunroof before. It's awesome. Now I can park my car by a lake and catch fish from inside with a rod and reel! I could even in theory launch ballistic missles from behind the wheel! Heh, heh, heh...

Now I just have to make sure I don't fall into the lifestyle of driving twenty feet just to buy a loaf of bread. Of course now I can do that through my sunroof!

My New Favourite YouTube Thing

Behold...Hard Gay!

I was surfing around the YouTube when I found this dude on it. Apparently in Japan this guy named "Hard Gay" runs around on the street doing all kinds of gags.

Watch Hard Gay solve social problems, teach kids to eat their least favourite foods, or even hook up shy guys with dates.

Damn. I laughed myself silly. You would never catch something like this on mainstream tv in North America.

Why Toronto Cops Rule!

Ok so I was on my way to the car dealership this morning to finalize the purchase of my new car. I was enjoying the drive and groovin to the local Socca Reggae station when I got spotted by the speed trap.

So I got pulled over and the cop took my license and my rental car's registration. Then he came back and said that since I was not from TO he would cut me a break. He said to "take it easy on the gas eh". Right on.

Later that day I went out to buy a lottery ticket. I figured I might still have some leftover luck.

Why I hate my rental

I am now in the midst of buying myself a car for Toronto. In the mean time I have rented the Chrysler Sebring.

Damn.

Normally I would never get such a tank but this having been the May Long Weekend, my pickings were slim.

Anyhow, lemme tell you why I hate this car:

1. It's a big boxy Yankee car. It feels like I am driving a dishwasher.
2. When using the keyless entry to lock the doors, it lets out a loud honk. Not very pleasant after 1 am.
3. I was in reverse to park and the lousy thing stalled on me!
4. The windows seem to be designed for someone five feet tall. Wanna live dangerously? Drive the Sebring and enjoy all the blind spots galore!

Aside from that, it is a very forgetable car. I even prefer the old 1978 Chevy Impala I used to drive around. She was named "The Beast".
