New car pics and observations

Posted By on October 30, 2004

- All cars should be German and turbocharged
- New car smell is overrated. At least nowadays, it smells like adhesives and plasticizers.
- 80mph doesn't seem that fast anymore
- Somehow, magically, when I climbed into this car, the road became overclogged with pokey drivers.
- I like the fact that when you take a corner, the body doesn't roll like a ship
- It's nice to do 150 miles on 1/4 tank of gas.

(Oh, FYI – this is my first new car.)

Current odometer reading (the top value) after driving to my parents' house.

Me and the new car. The color is “Blue Anthracite”. Sometimes it looks grey, sometimes blueish, sometimes greenish.

More pics tomorrow. It was kind of a grey day today.
