Is it bad that two out of the three sales guys here are high as a kite right now? One of which is me. Some times, just some times, it's fun to work here. At least I've got a prescription and a reason to be taking these pills.

My foot hurts

Almost as bad as a double dose of gonorrhea and syphilis. I would know. I really think it's a combination of too much drinking and driving, DUI's are a bitch.

It's been an eventful week what with my foot progressively getting worse, downloading demo games on the Play Station, arguing with various women, and getting involved in a web of my friend's blogs. Oh, and my girl scout cookies came in this week, they are yummy.

I've thought of a series to compose called "Fucked by the man - stories that make me wonder why I still work here and make you laugh." I'm excited to get that under way.

You need to check out sxephill on youtube. It's funny shit.

New hotness

We just rolled an 09 Suzuki Hayabusa on to the showroom today and it looks awesome! I'll also say that I love white motorcycles, I'm glad manufacturers have started to produce more of them.



One of my favorites continues to be the 08-09 Honda CBR 1000RR

Old

Haven't we all heard "They don't build them like they used to."? As time has passed I've found a new affinity for old stuff.

Take the 1974 Yamaha RD350



357 lbs, 350cc Twin two-stroke, 39hp, 6-speed, 105mph top speed. It's simple, it's fast, it's cool looking. Give me an old brown leather jacket and a set of aviators and I'll race you to Texas.

Or how about the 1936 Bugatti 57SC Atlantic?



I can't think of a modern car with a better looking ass. 200hp supercharged I-8 with dry sump lubrication, DOHC, 5500 rpm red line, 123mph top speed! This was 1936 in case you forgot! It hauled ass and looked like it had some dignity.

Any more we've got the latest version of the razors edge. A lighter, faster, more powerful object of sex appeal and speed. Though that's exactly what the two of these examples were, we've lost what old stuff has - character. The ability to duplicate the latest and greatest testimony of mobile excess doesn't build character. It builds whatever it is you're stamping out.

The RC8 and the Veyron are great but I miss these things that I never knew, these things that are older than I am. I want to see more of them. I want to be involved with objects that have more wisdom than I do, not more technology than I'll ever understand.

Looks like there's an old, appreciative side to me after all.
