Yeah...you're right - Bongo drums. I could hear the sound that would fit, but couldn't remember which instrument. I definitely don't remember those times (Birth class '73), but that doesn't mean I'm not familiar.....

I'm on spring break, so I've been outside. Not driving much, though.

My computers at work finally started blocking the forum...boo. I'm pretty disappointed since I was going on this daily and then randomly it got blocked. I just got a promotion at work, though, so everything has been pretty hectic...

I got hit while going through an intersection yesterday, after I broke two of my buddy's fairway woods. A case of FML.

That sucks....(both your car and the clubs) I've snapped the head off of my 3 iron 2 times.

Maybe this gives you that reason to go get that Fusion you liked.

Scott, I'm saving the Fusion thoughts for 10 or 11 years down the road, when I want a family. For now, I want something small and sportier (not that the Fusion is a slacker). The Volvo (yes, of all things, a Volvo) C30 won my interest yesterday...it was the kind of car you sit in for a minute and everything feels right. Never thought I'd feel that way about a Volvo.

That C30 is awesome. (Same chassis as the 3 I believe)

Yeah, same chassis. Inline 5 Volvo engine, turbo'd...good for around 230HP/TQ. Beautiful to look at, too. Sticker for the top of the range was $26K...but I'd be look at the $23K model, because I don't want all the luxury amenities available.

Sure, it's not as fast as the Speed3, but at least it doesn't next a computer to regulate TQ in the first two gears...
