Of roads and cars and scenic byways. . . .

Some pictures of the rental cars (yes plural) i have gone through since my stay here. When i first arrived, National Car rentals had me slotted for a full size car. Then when I got to the airport, the man at the front desk was nice enough to bump me up to a premium car slot.So i trotted down to their car lot, and picked out a nice Volvo S60 T. =)

Its kinda teal-ish grey, and well its the turbo edition and has a full leather interior, dual climate and electronic seats (is that what you call them?). A full bodied wild stallion on the interstate - and later on from the pictures you will see, tears across the highways like an fat man through a KFC buffet spread. The gym i go to is also across the desert, about 5 exits away. So my therapy and time out here is driving across the desert roads in a nice car. Its not the car (denial denial denial), but more than that its the time alone to hear my thoughts.
But then there was always one car i always wanted to drive . . . . . .so last weekend before my trip to the outskirts of LA, i mossey'ed on over to the rental place, and traded the good old Volvo in for something with a little fresher fire. . . .I give you. . . the MAZDA 6!!!!! I initially popped in for a 09 Nissan Maxima, but they did not have any available at that time. =( So i went out into the lot, and say the Mazda 6! Needless to say i scurried back into the rental office like a rabbit on Speed and told the lady the Mazda was mine! Beautiful car. . . . .

The mazda catch phrase is 'zoom zoom'. In my case it turns out to be 'drool drool'. =) granted that this car had no leather interior. . . .well i was willing to forgive this minor shortcoming. =)

And gosh the thrill of going on the highway with this baby. . . . . .ooooooooooooooooooooooohhh. . Here are some shots from the highways we traversed the following day. . . . .

All of the scenery here seems to SCREAM for me to buy a cowboy hat. Pray i will fight that temptation. Right now here is the current temptation i am struggling with every night. . .

Ladies you may now post your spiteful comments. =)
Good night everyone.
