On the prowl…

Tuesday, December 26th, 2006

As I’ve posted previously, we’re on the hunt for a house in 2007. As it turns out, my office is also moving to a new location in 2007. All of this sounds fine and dandy except that we only have one vehicle right now. :( Bummer, I know. Needless to say, I’m on the prowl for a new car. Just something small and simple, really. Well, not too small, I do have photo equipment and children and pets to haul around. Found some Cars For Sale @ lemonfree.com and the site looks like a nice addition to the ones I’m already looking at online. I figure that I can’t have enough options when I’m out car hunting. I hate going to car lots because they’re always so pushy. At least when you look online you can do your research while you’re looking and lemonfree links you straight to Carfax reports. Handy, I must say. :) I’m also looking at Ebay and lemonfree links to a vehicle’s ebay auction if there is one. Good thing, too because you know how I am. I’d probably think there were two cars that just happen to be from the same place being sold at the same time and just happen to look identical. ;) Anyway, I’m aiming for something like a Mazda Protege. I don’t think J will drive anything smaller. ;)

On a side note, I think this site really shines when it comes to its older cars. Ones like the Dodge Challenger look to be perfect for guys who want a muscle car to tinker with.

Belated Merry Christmas!

I don’t know about y’all but I totally made out like a fat bandit this year. Got a ton of cool photography stuff and well, that makes me really happy, lol! Seriously, I should make the list, but I won’t. Needless to say that you’ll probably start seeing more photography posted on my flickr site. :) I also made the resolution to shoot in RAW format as much as possible. Honestly, I thought it wasn’t a big deal but now I’m seeing the control that you have over the images and I’m shocked that I didn’t make the plunge sooner! Check out my more recent flickr photos and you should notice a difference in the quality of the shots. At least I hope I’m not the only one who sees the improvment! :D Anyway… Everyone better have had an amazing Christmas this year! :) Why? Because I said so!
