    Well, it's not like anybody actually cares but me... but...

    I've only had the car for a week now. Almost exactly a week, actually. I love it. I can't say one bad thing about it. Well, one "bad" thing is that it feels slow. Meaning, when I'm going 60-80MPH, I feel like I'm going 30. That's bad because I can see some tickets coming on. I was going 70 in a 40 this morning and I saw a County cop come flying up on me with his lights on. Intantly, my heart takes off. I try to calm down and start to pull over when he passes me! Luckily, they were off to more important business than to ticket someone breaking in their new car. I'm actually looking for a decent radar/laser detector as I type.

    I really like the tiptronic /DSG trans. It's taking some getting used to, but I'm almost at home. I've put just under 600 miles on it in under 1 week. Then again, I'm on vacation and most of the driving has been from going from this fishing hole to the next. Really, thats all I've done on vacation so far. Drive from fishing one fishing hole to the next. I'm going to take an "extended" trip to Six Flags tomorrow.

    Well, off to finish my Jim Beam and Coke as I have to be up bright an early again. Fishing early and then on to Six Flags! Woo Hoo!

    Quitmzilla is a firefox extension that gives you stats on how long you have quit smoking, how much money you\'ve saved, how much you haven\'t smoked and recent milestones. Very helpful for people who quit smoking and used to smoke at their computers... Helps out with the urges.

    Nice to hear you like it. I used to have a top of the line (cobra) radar detector and it was okay wasnt even that great. There are several other brands and the bottom line is there arent really any that can give u enough time to respond

    Wow you actually have one of those? They cost a fortune! I used to know a site that had the ranges of all the major brands compared for each band. I cant find it now! GRR!

    To answer your question not really. A few major highways have 55mph and most have 65mph. At least where I live...
