    I now drive a VW Jetta and I'm pretty sure every guy is going to assume that I DVR the Bachelor and have a tanning pass.
    what I am is what I am and I does what I does.

      What color is it, because certain colors cue the "she's a lesbian" assumption when a woman drives a VW Jetta after age 25.

        .... dark grey.

        Well, I guess I'd rather be considered a hot lesbian than a Real Housewives fan.

          For a look at some cars that will not hurt your social life, the Utah Museum of Fine Arts opens an exhibit this Saturday on some classic and historic automobiles.


          My wife and I went up this evening for a pre-opening event. Here are a few of the cars.

          1954 Ferrari 375MM


          1964 Shelby Cobra Daytona Coupe


          1957 Jaguar XK-SS Roadster


          Mormon Meteor III


          1952 Streamliner "The Beast III"

              that event had some pretty nice rides out front too. a few 911 turbos, a gt-r (blue... not a flattering color), a bentley, and an aston. this is one that would be really cool to go to.

                Could be, if she likes going really fast in a straight line.

                  Yep. I'm planning on heading up again.

                      Introducing the Kia Provo.



                      From the article:

                      It’s a little-known fact in the western world, but the Osmond family—yes, those intrepid 1970s stars of stage, screen, and cosmetic dentistry—are huge in Korea. So much so, Kia decided to name their new hybrid concept vehicle the Provo in tribute to the Utah town the Osmond clan calls home.

                      None of that first paragraph is true. What is true is that we searched diligently for the Asian—or German, as the car was designed in Kia’s design studio in Frankfurt— meaning of the word “provo” without success. Exactly how the name relates to the new gas-electric hybrid concept is a question for a later time. (Although sister division Hyundai is rather fond of naming its vehicles after western U.S. cities. See the Tucson and Santa Fe.) For now let’s just take it in.
                      Not that, sickos.

                        The article writers can't figure out that Provo is short for Provoke or Provocative?

                        Unfortunately for Kia it is also short for Provisional Irish Republican Army and they are getting in hot water in the UK for it.

                          I think the article was written before the issue about the IRA's name. Before that, I don't think Kia said anything about why they named it the Provo.
