'My new goal in conversations is to make people unsure of whether I am making fun of them, or am just a complete idiot.' [Aram:MiH]


Has the whole world gone mad?

Sorry for leaving this out in the cold for you, but you know how my Dad has to drive my Mazda?

[Because our old Subaru is dying]

Well, I don't have to worry about that anymore. Only jealousy...

The point being, we've needed a new car for a very long time, and that the Subaru has held on by just the skin of its teeth.

So, for 5-6 months, Mum and Dad have been sorting stuff out and such financially.

And we got our new car.

I'm sorry, your car is now obsolete, please bolster your self esteem before finding out exactly what ours is.

Wait for it...

Volkswagon Golf Trendline 2.0

also known as, 'The safest vehicle on the planet'

The safety people [I can't remember, Mum knows..] gave the Golf a safety rating of 12. No other vehicle or car company has acheived this, even with a concept car.

If we were in an accident, we would be safe, owing to several features;

Front passenger and driver seat airbags, rear passenger side airbags and 'curtain' airbags that inflate to completely cover the windows and prevent any glass from harming the occupants.

Not to mention the entire interior is set in a secure 'safety frame,' similar in practice to the French 'Tiger' attack helicopters.

So yes, we drive a tank.

Oh wait, almost forgot. The German engineers even took into account the pedestrians you may accidentally run over. Apparently if you had a choice of which car to be run over by, your safest option would be our Golf.

Our car is such a sexy beast.

Pinch me, because I still can't believe its finally here.

I wanted to go to the Shootout film festival last night, and on to C7, but Mum arrived home late. Why? Because she was getting the car, and was legally required to have an hour long training session in the features of our car.

So she got home, and tooks us for a burn in town. Dad said we'd pick up her prescription on the way, but the Pharmecist's was closed. The Shootout showing was nearby, and I asked Dad to go past.

I think I wigged out Mark and the others. As we drove past, we saw them, so I did a very bad bogan thing and yelled out [after winding down the powered windows] 'EH! MARK!'

Mark, Deyve and the others all looked up, and looked incredibly confused.

lol

It was probably that they were overwhelmed by the sexyness of our new car, and probably the luggage pod secured on the roof.

So yeah. That's about it.

Oh wait, no it's not.

CD PLAYER WITH TEN SPEAKERS!

Okay, now most youth wish to instantly install some 'phat' or 'daft' stereo system into their car as soon as they get it. If anyone does that to they new Golf, they are idiots, and also stupid.

We had the volume at about 40%, playing 'We Will Rock You' [Dad bought 'Queen: Greatest Hits I,II,III'] and we had to shout to talk.

While they were picking up some things at Action, I sat in the car and put my brother's Linkin Park single.

I, wisely, turned it up only to 75%.

Ow, for the love of all that is good and holy, ow. I could feel wax liquifying in my ears.

But so good.

I'm sure my homies would appreciate lappin' downtown in the Golf with some loud music playing, and the 'pod sitting on the top.

I still can't believe how many heads turned when we drove in town last night.

I mean, obvious, open staring.

People who we passed on the highway were giving us quick glances [as you should] and then just complete double takes and open stares.

Hey, just because our car is shiny...

So yeah, big news!

Also we got out Saints and Soldiers from Civic Video last night [I still can't believe that..]. I went in there to pick it up, and Jess was working. I was hoping that I could set up a card, but apparently only an 18+ can. So, Jess borrowed it out on her card for me.

*hugs*

But if anyone asks, I'm her cousin.

*shifty*

Anyhow, I highly recommend Saints and Soldiers. I thought it would be an excellent movie, and I thought correctly.

Saving Private Ryan has nothing on this. Well, it might...it's all up to you really...just watch it already.

Guh. I really don't want to do assignments today. Or any other day for that matter.

EDIT: Okay okay. They're not images of our Golf, but it looks like this basically.
