New Wheels

Exciting times are in store with only 4 more days of classes, a training camp and a summer of racing within reach. But, there is more.
As most of you know I have never owned an automobile and have traditionally been somewhat of a resister to the car lifestyle. After years of staying true to this eco friendly lifestyle I believe I have saved up enough carbon credits to possibly make a bit of a change. Therefore, I put down some cash on a new machine to get me from A to B. Meet my new 2000 VW GTI 1.8T. Unfortunately I won't be able to use it much for the few months, but it was too good a deal to pass up. I have always thought that the GTI was the perfect car with practicality, style and performance all in one glorious package. Getting a 2000 model meant good value and although the odometer is reading a little high for my liking, the maintenance records reveal a well kept car that should last along enough for my needs. All I need now is a name for the new beast...
April 2, 2007. My April Fools prank was a mediocre success, hope you enjoyed it...

Jamie,

you got me. I was wondering why you would purchase a vehicle seeing that you will be on the other side of the pond for the majority of the summer. Nice choise though.
This was a bit more subtle than the Dubai start for the '09 Tour that cyclingnews.com reported.
