Screaming Bean
Monday, July 05, 2004

I hope you all had a great holiday. We spent the time at home working on projects and trying to test drive cars. See, when I bought my last car I had to...quickly. I had just had my car totaled in a rear-end accident and had gotten a pittance from insurance. I also had about a week to find a vehicle. I ended up with a very basic sedan that does its job admirably. But it's very basic. So this time, I'm getting a head start on the process. I figure I give myself a year or year and a half, draw up a list of what it is I might want and start test driving cars. I drove three this weekend. One, the VW Beetle is an immediate no. I just plain didn't feel safe in the car. Not to mention the 4-cylinder engine whined something fierce during acceleration. I realize since I drive a 6 cylinder that I might be asking too much. However, when I drove the 1.8T GTI things were different. No turbo lag, plenty of pickup, and it drove like a car bigger and more powerful than it is. Question is, do I want to be a 30 year old lawyer with a GTI? Maybe a 20-something street racer, but an attorney? That brings me to the other vehicle I drove, a 9(3) Saab. (Superscript? I'm at a loss here.) Also a turbo, luxurious, plenty of fun, stiff sports suspension on 17" wheels. Mmmm...it's on the short list. Of course, 4th of July weekend was probably not the best time to start this project since half the dealerships were closed most of the weekend. I'll keep working on it.
