Sitting at the car wash next to a husband and wife

Husband: I've been looking at used R8s. I think we should pick one up it could be a lot of fun.
Wife: Sure
H: I really like the idea of the rotary engine and the sound
W: What does it sound like?
*Civic with fart can is driving by*
H: Sorta like that but better. I really like them because people confuse R8s with 300ZXs but its got the rotary and the 300 doesn't.

Thankfully at this point my car was ready so I missed the rest of that thrilling conversation but I wanted to inform him of the difference between the R8 and the rx8 so bad

Thoughts....

Ireland is bigger than what I thought! One week leaves no time to explore. Saw a GT86 though on M8. Was going like 140mph.

Next time I'm bringing my family and booking a 2week trip minimum.

Here's another one: oral-aural-kinesthetic experience. No, it isn't as dirty as it sounds.

Ireland is AMAZING! I went there last November, and my friends and I didn't want to leave. Beautiful country, and great people.

Finally after 4 days of flying all over the freaking Northeast I got to rip on Vivi for a bit. (I let her warm up first while I filed some paperwork)

Gary Oldman is the greatest character actor of our generation.

I have seen so many movies of his, but I don't think I every really appreciated his range like I should. Certainly no insult to some actors who basically play themselves in every movie, Bill Bob Thornton for example. It takes skill to notice you are one-dimensional and pick roles that fall in your narrow range. Gary, though, wow, I can't imagine a role he couldn't pull off.

The more I see pics of the RS2 interior color scheme, the more I say, its not too shabby at all. Would I trade in my car for it? Nope.

But it really isnt too bad.

I still think that interior would rock in a lava.

If I still had my epic photo manipulation skills, I wouldn't mind spending some time doing a little interior swap!

The brown isn't poop shade but its light enough to where the contrast with lava's exterior would be pretty awesome. It'll look more "upscale", though I don't particularly care for that.

Of course, I can tickle the idea and find an upholstery shop..... Hmmmm
