There have been lots of little things going on in my life over the past few months, only some of which deserve their own post, so I'll just mash them all together.

I'm giving a presentation tomorrow in English on why motor racing is a sport. The assignment is a "photo essay", which is an argumentative essay using only pictures with a few captions. I succeeded in using only Formula 1 pictures, so people don't start saying how NASCAR isn't a sport, and included Maldozer flipping Gutierrez in Bahrain.

I started parking by other Volvos at school but they didn't seem to like it, probably because I always back in to show off.

I started parking by myself in the corner of the lot and one day a E36 M3 parked next to me! I parked next to it the next day, but it had moved some spaces away when I came out. Friend zoned. :(

I got roof rails and a bike rack for my car with the help of EL_ULY. I've only had my bike on it once, but it still handled well at 70 mph. The rails will be coming off for the season in a few weeks.

This Jetta Sportwagon caught my eye. It appears to have Mk.6 GTI wheels on it. Did they ever come with the GTI's wheels, or did the owner swap them?

A coworker has a cool Jeep XJ that he regularly takes offroad. He had a Volvo S60R before it, but that car was basically a lemon so he got this instead.

I only noticed the hatchet now. Must be interesting driving around town with that on your roof.

I saw a Plymouth Prowler a couple of months ago. It was the first time I've seen one, and no one else around cared. At the time, I thought it was more rare than it actually is.

Random race car on the highway is random. I think this was a Thursday at around 3 pm, so probably not heading back from a race or anything.

Sorry for the bad picture, but this is a better angle. :(

Also a bad picture, but this is one of my neighbor's cars. He DDs an older Audi A4, his wife drives a Land Rover Discovery II, and he drives his Porsche Boxster RS60 Spider exclusively on Saturdays. I thought it was just a normal Boxster, but he told me a few months ago that it is actually a RS60. In addition, he has a Jaguar E-Type Coupe in storage across town that I've unfortunately never seen, and a Jaguar E-Type Roadster that should be finishing restoration imminently. He was thinking about replacing the Boxster with a F-Type, but he said the ride wasn't good after he test drove one. Very cool collection if I say so myself.

Thank you all for listening. Here is a Pagani Zonda Cinque for your time.

If you look closely, you can see that the picture is mirrored. Annoys me very much.

The wagon's a Passat with GTI wheels
