FMC 3.0

I’ve driven it for a week, and have put about 650 miles on it. Here’s what I’ve learned so far:

• Honda really knows how to build a car.
• The AC is so rediculously cold, I’m afraid something is gonna freeze off.
• I’m not sure how I’ve commuted all these years without cruise control.
• While a box is roomy, it’s got the surface area to catch some serious wind.
• XM has almost too many options. I can never decide what I want to listen to.
• MP3 CD player = fucking spiffy.

I’m sure i’ll think of more, and be sure to add it to the list. Right now my only concern is that my gas guage is a pathological liar, and telling me I have a lot less gas that I truly do. Earlier this week it said I had about a 16th of a tank, and only put in 11 and some odd gallons. It’s a 15.8 gallon tank. (The cav was also a liar, but in the opposite direction.) I can live with this if its the case, I just have to prove that it is. So I’ve devised a bit of an experiment. I’m going to drive it till it’s out of gas. And while AAA would come rescue my butt, I don’t want to risk the hour long wait - especially if it does it on my way to work. So I’ve picked up a 2 gallon gas container, put gas in it, and bungie corded it in the back of the Element. That way I should be able to get a good distance on the reserve.

I think its a good thing to know exactly how far you can get on an empty tank in any car. I’m a big fan of the “Kill it and Fill it” method, and I’d hate to think I had 4 more gallons to go before really needed a fill up.

I’m a pretty well traveled person on the net, and not much surprises me these days. The last thing I remember raising an eyebrow was balloon porn. However, I crossed paths with the pic below last night, and it caught me off guard.

I mean, Superman Donkey Punching Wonder Woman? And the look on his face? It just seems odd and out of place. And how did she not see it coming? I guess he just had to let loose on someone who was able to withstand it.

That’s right folks, no more little green monster for me. That’s a honda stock photo of the car I bought Wednesday. I’ve been looking them over for a while. It’s very, very odd to be driving the exact car you wanted, will all the options you wanted, and not feel sore from being anally raped on the price tag. I’ll post actual pictures once I get some.

Where will the drive space end? I mean really? Plans to build 1TB HDDs, and how this? Hitachi stock? Hot stuff.

Did you know that Scarlett Johansson wanted to do the love scene in “The Island” topless, and Michael Bay told her no? Apparently her breasts are an automatic R rating. Judging by the sneak peeks here and here he could be right. But damnit, inquiring minds want to know. For those keeping score at home, she’s dethroned Angelina as queen of the hottie list.
