The Buick

Sometimes at work, I get to take the Buick Le Sabre out for a spin. Well, that's not quite accurate. It makes it sound like I'm joyriding when really I'm running errands. The thing with the Buick, though, is that it makes even running errands feel like joyriding. It drives so smooth and it's so luxurious inside. I know it's kind of an old lady car, but I don't care. I love it. Yesterday, I got to take it all the way across town.

Check out this spacious interior:

I always feel awesome when I'm driving the Buick, like I'm totally sophisticated. However, it's really hard to take a sophisticated self-portrait when you're driving, so I came up with this one.

Sometimes driving the Buick is not that great, though, and here's why - the radio. I never know when I'm going to be taking the Buick out, so I never think to bring a CD (or even a tape because the Buick has a tape deck even) with me. I get stuck with the radio. Most of the time, it doesn't please me.

Do you know how many worship stations there are here? Luckily, I can change the station with my thumb as I drive, which makes it a lot safer. (The safety factor is probably canceled out by the camera factor, though.)

After skimming many a station, I finally came across one that played Starship, Huey Lewis & the News, and MC Hammer. I totally rocked out. But again, it's hard to take a self-portrait when you're rocking out and driving, so it turned out like this.

In conclusion (because I don't know how else to end this), driving the Buick all the way to Art Sign and back was pretty much the best hour of work ever.
