Checking out how the cross posting works via posterous. I am hoping it's managable.

Today I went to sit in

Today I stumbled on to a new Nissan GT-R. They retail for 70k and somehow the "stealer"ship has it marked up for 30k to $103,000. Total bullshit. That means the second you drive the car off the lot you lose 30 thousand dollars.

The car itself is beautiful but honestly its a bit to futuristic looking for me. I appreciate the whole "gtr in america" thing but lets be honest people... this IS NOT a Skyline. This is a GT-R. There is a difference. I would take and R34 spec-nur Skyline over this thing any day. Yes yes the american gtr is an amazing car but its not my thing. 480hp is nice but for less than 100k you can have a real "godzilla" gt-r34 and have it turned and delivered pushing more than any american gt-r.

As for the dealerships raising the price 30k... eat a dick. Pathetic. This car is for 30-40 year old men who wanna suck back that prime they missed. They could have marketed this car to a younger crowed and made a fortune.

Bottom line... its amazing... but I don't vibe. I will always love the real skyline r34 and even the 33 but no gtr for me. Kthx

Hunt for a new car

Ok don't get all jittery yet. I didn't buy a new car and I certainly am not going to in the next day or month but I am officially beginning my hunt to find the perfect car.

I will be trading my 2005 Cadillac CTS-V for something fresh and of my choosing. What that is... well I am not exactly sure. There are many aspects when picking a car for myself and each and every standard must be met. I don't care if I spend $10,000 or $100,000 the point is the car must be exactly what I want.

So what do I have right now... well I have a 420+ horsepower sports sedan. The car has an LS6 z06 corvette engine. Full suspension, and brembo breaks. A whole lot of fun to drive. However the gas situation is killing me.

What I'm looking for. Something a little smaller or equal in size, equal or has the possibility to equal the power, maybe even surpass it. And the ability to modify. I'm tired of not having a strong mod community behind my car. I would also like to save some money and not have a thousand dollar a month loan.

So anyway that's that. Next car will be turbo'd, either stock or aftermarket... this is a must. As I begin to sweep away options and boil down to a list of 4 or 5 I will def post here (not that anyone really cares) but hey its a blog.

Anyone for a little GT-R?

Layouts and stuff

I really wish you could change the look of your posterous. It would be kind of cool to have different layouts and such.

I think tonight I'm going to watch some south park and clean out my computer. After getting rid of the water cooling and going back to air cooled I am just fussy about it running top notch. Its a little bit weird without it being overclocked, but ill get used to it.

Anyway enough posting for right now. Check twitter for other updates.

Blehhhh

No internet equals fail. I need to set up mobile posting on slackerstyle.com so I can rant and rave there. On top of that I'm moving soon and I have been hard at work packing my life up.

Epic stress is epic.

Update [rare]

I decided tonight that I am going to be kicking this over to my mobile phone blog. I hope I keep up with it. Between updating Twitter and Flickr I don't know how I am going to impliment this... I guess it can replace the old hiptopslackers website.

Ahoy.

Cleaning out the camera phone

Seriously the most random stuff ever in my phone. Who else has a picture of 5lbs of mayo? Pfft. You don't know anyone who does! Hahaha. Maybe I'll link my twitter and flickr with posterous. Kinda cool.

Also... sadly, no more water cooling in my computer =/. I had to take it out, I don't have the time to devote to overclocking anymore. I did what I did when I did it and it was very cool. Now I moved over to a very clean very minimal setup with my main focus being a nice 92mm Zalman.

Ya know...

I am really really beginning to enjoy Posterous. I think they are the first "blog" service that actually "gets it". I love having a side blog and forever have been using Twitter but the integration and the ability to have this as a mobile/photo blog is great!

And whoever designed it... EPIC!
