I have to admit I’m feeling about as self-absorbed as Ashley Judd right now, since ALL I CAN TALK ABOUT is my new car, but you guys, I warned you about this. I told you I’d be impossible for a little while, and that you just needed to sort of hang in there for a bit until I got it out of my system, so consider this the official me-getting-it-out-of-my-system post. I think after this, I’ll be back to normal.
Mr. Mock drove Suki last night to take us out to dinner, and we figured out some of the toys a bit better, and this morning, I drove her to pick up some Cool Ranch Doritos, which was something I absolutely didn’t need but it gave me an excuse to drive. And I am happy to report that on my way home, I officially felt cool. Yesterday I felt like a geek who was just learning to drive, but today I felt like a badass. I’m already used to her, which is a lot more than I can say for Helga, who I drove for 4.5 years and still wasn’t totally comfortable in.
Anyway, I told you guys I’d make a video of her, and look at what a good promise-keeper I am!
Don’t worry, Mock, admitting you have a problem is the first step. Clearly you are leaps and bounds ahead of A.J. in the self aware department. Swoon away over your new wheels; we’ll be happy to host an intervention should you become too unbearable.
Mr. Rosie recently got a new car and I still can’t get over the fact that the car hands me the seatbelt. I love it!!
I’m glad I could hear you pronounce the name, because in my head, it rhymed with Wookie. The push button start is totally awesome. I think I’d get distracted and be an even more unsafe driver than I already am.
Congrats on your bad-assness.
My parents have an Infiniti and there is enough room in the backseat for my 6’3″ frame. They are a luxury. Have fun being a badass. Don’t forget to rev the engine while at a stoplight so as to intimidate the other inferior cars.
She is fly..good luck with it, and much better luck than my
04 BMW X5 where I just had to spend 4 grand to fix my computer system which some how got wet and failed.
It’s truly a beautiful thing. I love that new car feeling. Yours looks delicious. I’m a wee bit jealous
Green. Just green. New car envy and jealousy rolled into one.
One thing. Sure, you can connect an Ipod or Iphone or whatever, but where are the CUPHOLDERS?!
Oh, they’re there. They’re in this super cute little boxy thing in front of the ipod connectory box.
Those are the official technical names for them, as far as I’m aware.
you know who would look good in the passenger seat?
MR. MOCK!!
congratulations on your new baby!
be careful out there and
be the biggest badass you can be!!
you deserve it.
p.s, i must be a total dope.
if it’s a push button to turn on,
how do you turn it off?
(i’ve never had a ‘push button’
car. unless you include the 1960 something
studebaker back in 1971 that
my boyfriend back then had.
(even then, i don’t know how he
turned that one off either!)
Mr. Mock will never be in the passenger seat, because whenever we go anywhere together he INSISTS on driving. If he actually sat to the right of me in a car, I wouldn’t even know what to do with myself – it would feel so weird.
You turn it off with the same button you use to turn it on. It’s all very high techified.
p.s. Rosie too – I wanna know about this seat belt thing. Suki doesn’t hand me the seat belt. Should I be mad at her? I mean, what kind of laziness IS it that she makes me reach all the way back to get it MYSELF?
Okay, I hate to admit it, but I was very afraid to watch that video because I thought your voice might be super annoying or have a weird accent or just dispel some of the mystery about you.
But it didn’t. Although, had you had a British accent, I would have thought your IQ was 491 instead of 140.
It’s so hilarious that you think I’m mysterious. I’m so so so so ordinary.
Besides, if you watch the 20/20 kinoki post, all the mystery is gone. My face is all over that thing.
Nice Ride! I waited 4 months for an RX330 and love it! Now I wish I’d of gotten the hybrid! Oh well~ Enjoy….
In super tech terms, the seatbelt holder thingie pushes forward when you start the car so you don’t have to reach behind you to get it. Then when you click the belt, the seatbelt holder thingie retracts to it’s regular position. It is the most polite car ever. I think it does that because it’s a coupe and the belt is a little further back than in a four door. I would forgive Suki for that one; she’s probably just helping you work your lats. Or just the one (lat?).
I see an accident happening…you looking at the display thinger, then BOOM. I don’t really like the idea, personally.
Congrats. Now try not to play with all the toys while you’re driving.
Gorgeous car, have fun with it.
I enjoy your faux mystery, even if it is just in my head.
I’m drooling… I feel as green as Elphaba… Oh well. I’ll get my own Mr. Lion(ess) one day, then I’ll feel justified. Hope Suki takes good care of you Mocks!
