Merc A series: Puke, simply puke. Retarded hybrid (no pun intended) of the Prius, Caravan and Civic Si.

I am genuinely curious to know, on average, how many people a person knows (basically friends and family) that have committed suicide? Personally, I believe I only know of one person. I say believe because I have a very good ability to block out many harmful events. I only know of one person that committed suicide at my high school during the four years I was there and I didn’t actually know the person, so they aren’t on my list. There was a discussion I saw online and some people knew upwards of nine people that had ended their lives. I guess that high of a number just made me think. I’m still thinking.

The fourth FloorBurn game was last night. We improved our record to 2-2! Lee and I were back on a line again, but we just weren’t in sync. I was playing too far away from him and he wasn’t able to get the puck up to me. No matter what, I stole the puck deep in their end, deked the goalie and got my fourth goal of the season. We ended up winning 4-1 and team morale was much higher than any other night. It’s possible that our practice last week really did help, but we shall see.

Ok, more updates to the use car hunt. I totally forgot that Microsoft has its own classified ads! I have contacted four more sellers and I already have two replies! I cannot link to the cars since they are on an internal site, but I can tell you that one is a ’92 Camaro and the other is an ’83 Supra! It would be cool to say that I owned a Supra, no matter what model year it is. Both are in fairly decent shape, at least from what I was told. The Supra needs a muffler, but that can’t be more than $200 to replace. I should be able to test drive both of them this week. Maybe I will end up buying a car this week!

I’m looking for a used car! No, even with all of the problems with the Focus, (which I’ve since named Sanchez, since the car was made in Mexico and now I can make all sorts of “Dirty Sanchez” jokes) I am not thinking of replacing it for a used car. I’m actually looking for an old manual car so that I can get better with an MT before I get a real car. I figure, why not spend upwards of $2,000 on a used car, practice driving a manual, then sell it off for upwards of $1,500 rather than spending $1,200 on clutch replacement for a new car? There is a parking lot a block away from my apartment where I can get a space for only $50/month. I will put the least amount of insurance on it, so it shouldn’t be too expensive of a proposition.

Here are the cars I’ve shown an interest in so far:

1995 Saturn SL 2


1989 Honda Civic


1987 Honda Accord

Why am I cooler than you? Thanks for asking! Well, do you have the Knight Rider theme song as your ringtone? Nope, didn’t think so.
