I need a vacation. With Uma. She can bring the kids. I know I was in Mardi Gras for three days in February. Was that good enough? Long enough? No. I recently toyed with the idea of taking a trip in the DeLorean. When I was in Houston a few weeks ago I attempted a 100 mile roundtrip. Miles 1 through 42 were great. Miles 43 to 92 sucked. I actually turned around after mile 42 because the performance I was getting from the engine was really bad. When I start off I can get the car to do 88 MPH (or more) without a problem. After I’m driving for 35 minutes, however, I can’t get it past 60. Going over hills slows down the car to as slow as 50 MPH or less. Not good. I constantly try different fuel treatment cleaners but apparently to no avail. One day I’ll bite the bullet and go with the zero mile engine performance upgrade. It’s tempting. I have no reason to do it while I’m working in Philly, so I guess driving the car any great distance is out of the question. The Batmobile is still under wraps with an electrical problem as well. To make things even more interesting, I bought my dad’s 162,000 mile Toyota Corolla to use while I’m in Houston. That’s 4 cars if you count the Mitsubishi. I’m thinking about retiring the Mitsubishi and getting the Honda Element instead. Is that wrong? Will my ability to pick up hawt girls be adversely affected? I guess if someone is going out with me for my car then I’ve got other problems. Okay, fine. Consider it done.
