My lottery list: cars edition

Yep, I fantasize about winning the lottery. Don't tell me how improbable selecting 7 numbers are, I've had some dark moments that dreaming what I would do if I won have lifted me out.

Here is my car list:

Dodge Challenger - Love American Muscle Cars - think they are unreliable, gas-guzzling, money pits; but the roaring Hemi V8 and the Cylon-visor grill is a definite middle-finger to the world.

Thought to myself this morning I wish I could make it look like Mad Max's Interceptor. That would be bad-ass.

Jeep Wrangler - I would probably have a nice condo in the city, so I would like a small car to jet around town. I was thinking about a Mini or a Smartcar when I remembered I used to own a Jeep Wrangler.

Living in New Orleans, where it almost always warm and road conditions are third world, a Jeep was a great vehicle. I finally gave it up because it would always be damp from the rain, but I'm going to have multiple vehicles when I strike it rich.

Sprinter Van - After you win the lottery, you know people will come out of the woodwork to be your best friend. You are going to need a large capacity vehicle, and I hate SUV's and I'm not going to buy a limo, so a Sprinter Van (conversion, of course) is the way to get around to the clubs.

Toyota Tundra - Need a big rig to haul stuff, and nothing better than a Toyota Truck

Airstream International CCD - Be assured, if I win the lottery, I am getting the fuck out of town. I'm hitching the Airstream trailer to my Tundra and buh-bye.

    I like the Charger SRT-8 from Street Kings-with Keanue And Forrest Whitaker-see it if you haven't. They don't make it in a standard though? WTF!?

    I have a Dodge Ram 1500 with the Mopar cool air intake and the largest straight pipes I could get out the back. It sounds so BA. I love my truck.

Night Poaching - Urban vs Suburban

I was going to call this post Night Riding, but I realize that there is no park that I know of that allows you to even enter at night. You can't be surprised. In our litigious, overprotective-mommy, society, having fun that hurts no one (except possibly the participant) is verboten. I actually like riding in the dark. No hikers, no horseback riders, and when do see another rider, there is an instant bond. "That guy must be as crazy as me!" Recently I went to Water Dog Park in Belmont. One of my favorite after work spots, only about 10 miles of trails but most of it singletrack. I drive up around 5pm and I take my time getting ready. About 20 minutes later, just as I am about to ride away, a Belmont police cruiser rolls up. I know what's going to happen next, but I decide to play along. "Yes, officer, I am leaving. Yes, officer, I know riding at night is illegal. No, officer, I won't do it again. Yes, officer, my bicycle is worth $5000. Yes, officer

A Tale Of Two Governors

Image
In the 2010 Tea Party Takeover, the most notable are the several conservative governors. In particular is Wisconsin's Scott Walker, who also presides over a Republican State Assembly and Senate. Seemingly with control of all state government, you would think Republicans have a mandate, particularly over the budget, the primary focus of all people but especially conservatives. But apparently, not all Wisconsinites agree: The protests have gathered momentum. Schools in Madison are now closed for the second day in the row due to 40% of the teachers calling in sick, and many of the students who are now free are also in attendance. The firefighters, who are exempt from cuts (for now), are offering their support. Even the Green Bay Packers are supporting the protesters. Governor Walker certainly sent no roses when his " budget repair bill ", besides the deep cuts, severely limited collective bargaining for unions. While the unions have made concessions and will probably ha
