No, I’m not a smooth operator, but my car is. My new G6 is such a smooth ride. I enjoy driving it so much and am extremely happy with my purchase. I’ve not taken any pictures yet, but I found one online that is my exact color, chrome wheels, and spoiler. This is what my car looks like (click for larger image).
So, I have a new car. Last night we went out to look for a new car. The first place we went was Suntrup Buick, Pontiac and GMC. I found the car I saw on their website and had the salesman bring it around. I took it for a quick test drive and immediately fell in love. It had such a smooth ride and was very spacious. I love the features on the car as well. It has two-toned interior with wood accents, XM satellite radio, cd player, input for an mp3 player, remote unlock and trunk popper, remote start, power everything, On Star. It’s a v6 so it has plenty of power. I’m really enjoying the ride. I can’t wait to drive it some more. Hopefully I’ll have some pictures up soon.
I’m thinking about getting a new car soon, hopefully within the next couple weeks. I would really like to get a 6 cylinder car, as they have a much smoother ride. My very first car was a 6 cylinder Chevy Corsica. While it was an old car, it had a fairly smooth ride and had no problem accelerating. My current car is a Mazda Protege. It’s been a good car but it’s a much rougher ride and the acceleration is slow. This has lead me to a couple of possible choices. The Nissan Altima and the Pontiac G6. The Altima is a really nice looking car and has a smooth ride. My brother-in-law has an Altima and really likes it. I’ve always like Grand-Ams and the G6 is the car that replaced it. I’ll have to test-drive the G6 to see what it rides like. If it’s anything like the Grand-Am was, i’ll enjoy driving it a lot. Does anyone have any suggestions on cars?
I was talking to my friend Trix today and we were discussing what’s on the menu for dinner tonight. She is having Chinese and I’m having BBQ hamburgers. This confused her a great deal. She asked if I meant grill. I asked her to explain the difference. I’m always curious to see how terms are interchanged depending on region (soda vs pop vs coke for example).

11:15:23 AM shep: how have you not heard of bbq hamburgers
11:15:25 AM trix wants to go home: must be a southern thing
I’m completely dumbfounded by this conversation. Really. I understand people not from St. Louis never hearing of BBQ pork steaks. Pork steaks are traditionally a St. Louis area thing. It really shocks me that something as simple as BBQ hamburgers could seem so foreign to someone who lives only 5 hours away, near Chicago. I mean, when I think of summertime, I think of BBQs with friends and family, BBQing burgers and dogs. Do these “cook-outs” (and not BBQs) have signs posted that say “No Sauce Allowed”? Something I thought was “as American as apple pie” I find out is something that others have never heard of. So Trix, do you know what apple pie is?
BTW, St. Louis is NOT Southern.

Hello my Kproxy visitors. I notice you visit once every few weeks. I’m pretty sure I know who you are. I don’t know what to say, other than there’s a note waiting for you.
