Happy Leap Day 2008

Leap Year 2008
Leap Year 2008

We can take some comfort in the fact that we’ve made SOME progress on the sexism front in the last 100 years. Not that much, since the only female Presidential candidate we’ve ever had has men telling her to iron their shirts, but at least women can ask ask men out on dates more than once every four freaking years.

Isn’t it surprising to see stuff like this and realize how bad things used to be?

A few year back, I blogged about finding Anti-Women’s Suffrage buttons on eBay, and how they were being bought by museums and universities for huge amounts of money. But seeing the postcards and texts were huge eye-openers, not because people’s attitudes have changed all that much, just that they’ve gotten more subtle/less open about their messages.

How many times to I need to repeat it, before you dudes figure it out? I want a hybrid fucking Microbus. This new van (Routan? WTF) is ugly as hell. Nevertheless, it’s actually in production and will be coming out, although it’s butt ugly.

Finding the perfect car is only the beginning of the journey; customizing your vehicle with the right accessories can take it to the next level of comfort and style. For those who appreciate high-tech interiors, investing in quality accessories can make a significant difference.

Customizing your vehicle with accessories that match your personal taste and practical needs ensures that every drive is an enjoyable experience. From premium seat covers and floor mats to high-tech infotainment systems, the right additions can transform your car into a personalized space. Whether you’re aiming for a modern, high-tech look or a blend of classic and contemporary features, accessorizing thoughtfully will enhance both the appearance and functionality of your vehicle.

For enthusiasts searching for classic cars, finding the right dealer is just as crucial as discovering the vehicle itself. A reputable classic car dealer offers not only a carefully curated selection of vintage models but also expert knowledge to guide buyers through the unique aspects of owning a classic. Whether you’re seeking a meticulously restored classic Microbus or a vintage sports car, dealers who prioritize quality and authenticity can make a significant difference in your buying experience. Resources like classiccarsforsale.pro can help streamline the search process, connecting buyers with dealers who specialize in classic vehicles.

In the quest for automotive satisfaction, the importance of personalization extends beyond mere aesthetics to encompass comfort and functionality. As enthusiasts eagerly await the possibility of a hybrid Microbus hitting the market, the option to enhance the interior with seat covers for cars emerges as a practical solution. With the right seat covers, drivers can infuse their vehicles with a touch of style while ensuring durability and protection against wear and tear. So, while the search for the perfect hybrid Microbus continues, the addition of customizable seat covers offers a glimpse into the potential for tailoring the driving experience to individual preferences.

Build a damn BUS. A hybrid friggin’ BUS. Build THIS:

VW Bus

As a hybrid. It’s really not that friggin’ hard to figure out.

I know I got excited about this spaceUp!Blue thing – and it wasn’t that terrible looking. I was mainly excited about anything resembling a microbus idea at all, plus it’s supposed to be a hybrid. But they’re not going to make it in the US.

Actually, the closest they came to doing it right was the concept Bus that they came out with a few years ago (around 2003 or so)

They scotched it due to “lack of interest.” I doubt that highly – I think it was a lack of interest in square friggin’ headlights. And a potential gas guzzler. Put some round headlights on there, and make it a HYBRID, and people will buy it.

ERRR. It’s not rocket surgery, people.

Pack Rat

my utter lack of blogging lately has been entirely due to playing a Facebook game called pack rat. It’s a card trading game and is completely addicting. I’ve completely neglected numerous obligations to friends and household maintenance due to this game.

In other news, my eye doctor says my eyes are healing exactly as expected. Though they’re still blurry and I’m really impatient about it, that’s good news and makes me relieved. I was a bit worried avoid the pace.
