I post a lot about the Sunchaser and the Vespa, but I need to share a little love for my work tool. For some of you, a truck is a tool of your work, but for me, it is this big-ass luxury sedan. As one of my clients put it, “I don’t want my attorney pulling up in some hooptie.”

It’s big. Really big. It is the long wheelbase model, and it feels it. But it feels safe and stable on the road, and eats miles. What I need for my frequent road travel.

Interior is gorgeous and comfortable, and I think the infotainment system is awesome. This is the third car I’ve had with such a system, and it is by far the best. Sorry, Zoidberg, but the one in the Sienna is shit. I love the dial control and physical buttons.

It looks cool, drives well, and was cheaper than Lexus. I’ve had it for a year and a half and am really happy with it. We go to Salinas tomorrow.

Long wheel base and weight. Those two conquer miles like nothing else.

I’ve always loved the big Infinitis.

I really wish that blue was available when my wife bought her G37X. All they had, other than black and white, were various shades of gray and silver that might have a little touch of some other color in it. The blue on her car looks like gray unless it’s a sunny day. They also had a red but it really sucked on that car.

The best lawyers and detectives drive hoopties.

Read that as “for some a truck is a tool of work but for me a truck is a big-ass luxury sedan” and immediately approved.

Imagine my disappointment.

I guess I missed the Vespa talk. I have a 75 Vespa, I bought it from a now defunct company in Atlanta. I rode it hard for a few years but it developed an intermittent electrical issue, so with a 2 year old kid, I realized it wasn’t worth pushing home half the time. I’ve been bummed, it was a reliable surf check vehicle, so now, nine years later, the gas is varnish and I can't find someone to fix it. So, how is dding a Vespa? I only did it for about a year,
