I really wanted to mow the lawn and wash my car on Saturday, but I was having an energy crisis and just couldn't manage it.
Some phrases and concepts get batted around so much that they lose not just their impact, but also their meaning. Seems like every time I turn on the TV I hear about the impending energy crisis. Well, BP just lost some 4,200,000 gallons of crude into the Gulf of Mexico, but gas is still $3.13 and my TV still turns on.
All my life I have been told by teachers and the media that someday we will run out of oil. Hogwash. As resources get more and more scarce, the prices increase and demand falls. So as oil becomes scarce it will become so expensive that even I might consider getting a non-gasoline powered form of transportation. Why didn't I say Prius, or Chevy Volt? Because when that time comes who knows what incredible innovations the free market will have cooked up for consumers looking for a cheaper alternative to gasoline. Personally I hope for something more in the direction of the Tesla Roadster than the Volt.
In the meantime I've been thinking about getting a tank of 107 octane for the E46 before I sell it, just to see what happens.
Blogs suck. This is my blog. It sucks.

since you're unloading the bimmer ...it begs the question: What's the next high-performance car choice? The options are so good right now. GT-R? CTS-V? A reasonably priced used M-coupe aka mini-batmobile?
I confess a bit of confusion that anyone other than my wife reads my blog. But in answer to your query: I am going back to using my beloved E30 as my daily driver. Should I ever find myself with the required cash I will likely get an M3 coupe. A new one. And take delivery in Germany. Oh yes, that is what I will do.
You do that, I'll take Euro Delivery on an S4 and we'll have ourselves 2/3 of a TopGear episode!
