I’ve stumbled on a bunch of cool (cool to me anyway) modes of transportation.

Here’s that list:

Tesla Motors: the electric sports car that looks like a Lotus but gets 135 miles per gallon, 0-60 in 4 seconds

The Mark V bicycle from Iro Cycle. It’s very old school, fixed gear bike used a lot by the messengers in San Francisco. What’s extra cool are the bikes w/ the horn style handle bars. These bikes are pretty cheap too about $550.

Another bike, the Xtracycle. It’s basically a bike w/ huge panniers. They call it the sports utility bicycle.

The new Segways have been out for a while. They’re cool I guess. You can see ‘em around the Google campus or in San Francisco w/ tourists on them. They’re great except when it rains. Then you’re s.o.l.

I’d love to get one of the Tesla cars. I wouldn’t get anything else on this list even though it’s all very cool. We’ve already got an BMW X3, a Trek Madone 5.2 SL road bicycle, rollerblades, snowboards, and that’s really much too much already.

Yea. Our BMW X3 is at the dealers. We’ll be paying the Cars Direct price thank you very much. It will be nice to have real windows, leather seats, and a stereo system where I don’t have to carry around the damn face plate.

Just ordered today. Now we have to wait 10 weeks, haggle a bit (can’t pay more than a bit over invoice), and then pay it off.

It’s pretty cush with a great turning radius.

I love writing about this car, more for the image than anything. I emailed the people at Weatherford BMW. I guess they can get me one of these for $38k. Can’t wait to get it but still need to wait to finish (re)-painting the house, some other external house work, and I still have to pay taxes too.

Joy.
