Default My Wonderful Friday...

This story is kind of pointless, but I think I'll share it anyway (it's Friday night & I'm extreeeemely overcaffeinated, so who cares??).

To start off, school kinda sucked today. I got a ton of Algebra homework on only my second day back and I had to listen to my classmates talk about their crappy so-called "American muscle cars". On the upside, though, hearing my friend describe hisred '94 5.0 Stang with its racing stripes and orange neon lights made me appreciate my car all the more. So for pretty much the second half of the day, all I could think about was my car.

And to top the day off, me and a friend went into Springfield tonight, ate Thai, and went to Barnes & Noble (where I picked up a copy of Sports Car Internation with a pretty good comparo between a 911 Turbo, an F430, and the new R8). And the ride home was even better because I love city driving (especially at night)and I'm starting to get pretty good with the Tiptronic.

That's pretty much the end ofthe pointless story of my wonderful Friday...or is it?

I know...I can't wait to chip it. I've pretty much already gotten the permission from my parents, and my warranty it still good through June, so I at least have some time to save up.

My day was ruined by a flat tire...however I did notice an utterly insane amount of modded Audis/VWs/Porsches. They also seemed to travel in small packs, so I can only wonder if there's some big event going on right under my nose. I know Pacific Waterlands is coming up, but isn't that in Portland? Also know of a small thing going on at the Chipotle near here this monday, other than that I'm in the dark.

Yeah, it's in Portland. I've been wanting to go to a show for a while but there is nothing good around here...just hot rod shows (which in my opinion all seem the same). There was actually a hot rod show at the fairgrounds tonight that we almost went to just because it was something to do, but it rained pretty hard, so that was out. I've yet to go to any type of European car show, but I know I would enjoy it.

Flat tires suck...fortunately I've yet to experience one. I love that my car came with a full-size spare, I just hope that I never have to use it.

There any good shows where you're at??

Dude, my friday was awesome also...

first right before 1st period, at 7:55 am, im walking down the hall way and i see $$$on the ground. i thought it was a 10, then i picked it up and realized it was a 20 then i opened it up and found out it was 2 20's! lunch is on me!!!!

then during 1st period which is pre-cal, my teacher hands me a note that my councelor sent me and it said i could drop pre-cal and still graduate. so right there i stopped taking notes and celebrated!!!

then after school, soccer practice was canceled (and its around 95 degrees)!!!! YAY! best friday ever!!!

Lucky!! I never find any money. I had a cousin once find $100 in a money clip, and when the guy that lost it came to claim it, he let her keep it.

Do you not like soccer practice, or did you just not want to go because it was 95 degrees??
