ak3ldama's Journal: autoblog

I've been moonlighting at autoblog. But i don't know why i do it. The comments there are ridiculous. Most things are easily broken down into the 'yuppy foreign car loving fags' and the 'broken tooth southern redneck who loves his domestic pickup.' I recently responded to this article about the new saturn aura. I posted this: (as comment # ??? )
#37 "When you drive the car, you are spending hours in it's interior, not staring at the chrome wheels or the foglamps." When I drive i prefer to stare at the road, at which point the car just melts away and all that matters is the feel of the car and the sounds from the stereo and exhaust. I am not going to buy an Accord or Camry so I can sit in it and stare at the interior.

Maybe I am missing something but I really, fundamentally, don't have a problem with my old '91 Oldsmobile. It gets good gas mileage and runs quite well. I don't plan on replacing it, maybe supplementing it with a 4x4 but that's it. I just can't understand these ricer kids' logic. Actually I haven't put the post up yet because the autoblog email confirmation hasn't been received yet. I guess in the end I keep going back to autoblog because I keep waiting to hear more specifics on when there is going to be a compact pickup coming out with a (turbo)diesel engine. If any of the three (though I don't like the dodge dakota's current look but I could get a wrangler instead) came out with such a vehicle I'd have already bought it. Maybe I should quit waiting for now and check back in 4 years.

Update: i forgot to include the link.
