Caff needs to go to the Auto Show with me today.

So that new Radiohead album.

Uh.

It's what dreams should sound like.

My cat's seriously won't leave me alone anymore, I spend a big part of my time studying fighting them off.

Should I select a 2-ish year old BMW 328i or a Golf TDI or GTI for about the same price?

Go VW if the vehicle will be soon off warranty. BMWs are one of the most costly brands to have repaired.

TDI for fuel saving, GTI for fun.

BMW has a 4 year 50K miles factory warranty, so it would still be covered.

I had the opportunity to drive a 2011 328i for about a week last summer. Awesome interior, felt really connected to the road. However, the automatic gearbox feels really sluggish when you jump on it. If it has paddle shifters or a stick shift, it'll be a lot better.

VW has a great performance for the money but their interiors have never impressed me. I sat in a new one at the auto show yesterday and the plastics just felt cheap.

As far as maintenance is concerned, I've owned 3 different BMWs over the years. As long as basic maintenance is kept up with, you wont have any problems.

P. Sure there's a good reason they're called executive rockets. My ex's dad has a BMW Z8 and that thing shares a powerplant with the E95 M5's and my god did that thing like to move.

I'm thinking about starting rock climbing again. Of all the things I've done that give you exercise, that was my favorite.

Adrenaline and fear ran through his body mind and soul as he opened his tear filled eyes once more, no longer in the horrid mess that was his home. Dead trees and grass surrounded the child in place of the white bloodstained shaggy carpet, the ceiling now replaced by a cloudy swirling black void.Taking a moment to take his surroundings and taking a step forward on the soft browning grass, in a instance he dropped down in anguish, his mind filled with an intense feeling of pain and throbbing emotions stirring within his mind.Fighting to open his eyes through the pain in his head Lire saw a odd character approach, with every step closer the figure took the more immense the pain within Lire's head grew. His eyes filled with tears once more, he wanted this all to stop.


Bleh, taking this slow...It is part of a chapter to a book i may or may not write. Inspiration is not with me right now i will keep going on with this on this thread whenever i feel like it.
