The other night while heading on I-40 to a friend’s house we saw this – had to get this grainy shot with the cell phone ’cause how often will I see a hot-rod shopping cart? Take note that the driver actually sits up where a kid would on the little shelf.

I done got me a new car. An Audi A3.
I had my eye on one of these lil’ guys for a while… OK, really since I saw my friend Matt’s – sorry for copying you Matt. So recently I was looking to see if there were any used versions – not because I was averse to buying a new car, but just to see how much money fell off of them when they were driven off the lot. Turns out, a pretty good amount. Mine is a 2007 and only had 7000 miles on it – lucky find.
So here’s the deal – when you buy a used car you don’t have the luxury of getting your first color choice. So I now own a cherry-red car. Its really not what my first choice would have been but its already growing on me.
The best part of the car so far? Gas mileage. I got close to 30mpg this morning going to work in “local” conditions (according to the little display on the dash). Still, its a real shame Audi won’t import the diesel version – turns out, they think we Americans don’t want diesel. Um… I’d have bought one instantly.
