New Car Ideas!

For the past few months I have been thinking that in the not so distant future, I will need to buy a new car. I have narrowed it down to two options. Option 1 is probably not going to happen without winning the lottery or something, since it is very expensive. The car is supposed to be around $90,000 when it comes out in 2013.  Option 2 will take some saving and spending more wisely so to afford such a vehicle (the cost would be around $28,000), but will probably be the one I go with. Unless I had the money for Option 1 of course.

Here are the two options that I have narrowed it down to:

Option 1:

Yep, a 2013 Electric Delorean!

This car would be badass to have. It's the freaking Time Machine!

The price is kind of steep, but it would almost be worth it. 

This is one of the battery packs that would be in the car. There would also be one in the front of the car.

The car also has some features to hook up your iPod/iPhone and built in GPS

The link below is for an article about the car in better detail than what I'm giving.

Option 2:

This is the Mini Cooper Countryman

It is a 4 door 4 wheel drive Mini Cooper. I find it to be very awesome.

It will also most likely be my next car.



I have looked at one of these in a showroom and it is everything I could want in a car. Plus, it just looks like fun to drive around.

The machine that will be replaced:

It has been a good car, but over the past year, I have had to start making repairs to it. I don't really want to stick a lot more money into something when I can just upgrade to something better.

Now if I had unlimited money I would finding a way to get my dream car:

Saw a movie on Saturday

Saturday night was a lot less boring than the rest of my long weekend.  At about 6:00 pm I got a random call to go see The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo at 6:30 pm in Red Wing. We cut it close, but made just as the movie was starting! 

Now, I have not read any of the books, so I didn't really know what to expect from the movie. I thought it was really good. The ending was a bit longer than I would have liked, but I'm guess that it was needed to continue story with the next two movies, which should get made, hopefully in the near future. 

The best part about seeing the movie though, was hearing a group of High School girls comment on the movie afterwards. As they were talking and being stupid, one of them said "We just paid money to see a porno and a half!"  I started to laugh at the stupidity of that comment, then I started thinking it a little bit. 

Sure, the movie had a couple short sex scenes and some nudity, but to call it a "Porno and a half"?  What kind of shitty ass porno had these poor teenage girls been watching?  If they were serious, and there is always a good chance that they weren't, it should be an enlightening and educational time in their life when they get to see some real pornos!

Oh, the other good part of the evening was when we went to Walmart after the movie and I bought Season 2 of Archer. It is very awesome, here is some of the awesomeness:



Sometime next weekend (Jan. 27 - 29) I'm hoping to see the movie The Grey.  It looks like a lot of fun. Here's the trailor:

Seeing more live music this year!

Over the course of last year I was lucky enough to go see some of my favorite bands and musicians. I got to see Colin Hay, Richard Cheese, Reel Big Fish, and The Dan Band.  Each and every one of them was as awesome as I could have hoped.  Especially Colin Hay and Richard Cheese, they were even better seeing live than I could have imagined. 

2012 has now begun and I found out on Tuesday of this week that another band that I have been listening to for the past 9 months or so is coming to Minneapolis in March.  The band I speak of is The Joy Formidable:

 I like their music a whole hell of a lot and when I saw them perform on Conan a few months ago, they were very entertaining.  So I am proud to say that as of Wednesday afternoon, I am now the proud owner or two tickets to see them live on Monday, March 19th, 2012 at the Fine Line Music Cafe in Minneapolis! 

I highly suggest you check them out.  Here is a link to listen if you'd like:  http://www.myspace.com/thejoyformidable

Now begins the hard part: Actually finding someone to come me.
