An Idiot Abroad-- Trans-Siberian

Is this guy for real?

2012 VW Eos hardtop convertible

It's the only convertible with a sunroof function.  The roof has 470 parts.  *Gulp*

Newt Gingrich Plymouth Prowler

Ugh.

Price limit at gas pumps

I thought it was an urban legend-- That in order to mitigate credit card fraud, gas pumps shut off at $75.  This one shut off at $74 this morning.  The Popemobile needed another couple of gallons for a fill-up.

After 2 1/2 months of ownership, the car gets about 15 mpg (6.4 km per liter) in the city and 22 (9.4) on the highway.  It is best at a constant 70 mph.  It is worst in the streets of San Francisco.

Audi Quattro Moby Dick ad

This reminds me.  Moby Dick has gone unread in my Kindle for almost a year now.

Emeryville

"TAG McLaren" motorcycle

Almost forgot.  Saw this at Red Rock Canyon's parking lot outside Vegas.

Carspotting: Bradley GT II

I was doing my husbandly duties this morning at 7 when I went to get an oil change for my wife's car.  In exchange for my act of kindness, I saw this gullwinged VW kit car parked on the side of the road.  This will complement the GT I saw in Nevada.  Time for another Hooniverse post, me thinks.
