GoTuning has ended their upholstery line. But they're still going to try to fix my airbag cover, so I probably shouldn't vent...

Apparently, their upholstery guy can't work because he became suddenly blind in one eye and is in the hospital or something... Hope he gets better soon...

That sucks. The car chase with the Ferrari is one of favorite scenes of any Bond movie.

I have a soft spot for Octopussy because of the car chase with the Alfa GTV-6 (I used to have one.)

I will just rent GoldenEye and make a copy of it.

For some reason, every time I get on the freeway, I always pop on right freaking next to a semi-truck. JUST when I'm in the S2k...never the Saab. And the few times that I DON"T pop out next to a semi-truck on the freeway when in the S2k, I'm behind someone who doesn't understand that merging at 40 mph into 75 mph traffic isn't such a good idea. So no matter what way I wind up, I can't enjoy the sounds of the S2k. . . . I don't know which pisses me off more, being next to semis at the point of merging, being behind semis on the on-ramp, being behind slowpokes on the on-ramp . . . I almost want to say slowpokes are the worst because semi-trucks can't help being slow and annoying on the ramps, and being next to them, while freaky because they can't see me all that well, and very loud, is just part of murphy's law...but slowpokes . . . you'd think they didn't know where the gas pedal was.

As a cost saving measure, they are ending my contract 3 days early.

Seriously, multimillion dollar company servicing a multibillion dollad company, and three days of MY time is too expensive for you?

Whatever, I'll just enjoy the week off.

I like that one too. I like the ones from the late 70's & 80's the best.

There really are very few JB movies I DON'T like. On Her Majesty's Secret Service being one of them.
