- That's an awesome photo - I can't wait to see the rest!
- Driving 'British-style' really isn't as bad as you'd think. You get used to it after a few days, BUT driving 'American-style' upon return to the US gets you ALL screwed up after you're used to driving 'British-style' (at least it does for me... I think it has to do with being so comfortable you don't think about it, and then you revert to the previous comfort zone... or something).
- I've found that most of the world uses smaller cars. Just us USA-folk that want the big vehicles - and big homes... how Freudian...
zjman and I were just talking about the car thing tonight. We seem to be the only country that doesn't grasp the whole concept of using a car as a way to get somewhere, not as a symbol of our net worth.
Having gone from a Jeep Cherokee to a Subaru Outback to a Hyundai Sonata to a Scion xA, I can tell you that I'm so, so, so much happier driving a little car. lt's infinitely more fun, and I feel so much better about it when I fill up (case in point: $33.00 for 10.9 gallons today - and I was running on fumes).
