Jeremy Clarkson’s review of the Nissan 350Z Roadster was just posted a few minutes ago on Times Online. He gave it a 2 out of 5 which is a pretty low score. Good thing I decided not to get it.. [Link]

Just found a link to this cool website that allows you to pimp out a couple of cars including the Nissan 350z, Mitsubishi Evo, Honda Civic Si, Mazda6, Acura RSX and the Volvo S40. You can choose your rims, ride height, car color, brakes and tires. Then you can check out your ride from various angle’s, Very fun.. [Link]

I have been shopping around like crazy for a new car but nothing had turned me on. Actually, every car dealer I went into I found a car I wanted. I wanted everything, a Toyota Prado, a Nissan 350Z, a Infiniti G35, an Armada, a BMW Z4, even a Citroen C2 (only KD3,850!!). Every car I looked at I wanted, thats when I realized I didn’t really want a new car, I just wanted to change my car. Its hard to explain but somehow somewhere I put it in my head that I needed to get a new car, so the past two weeks of shopping I wasn’t really looking for “The Car”, I was looking for “Any Car”.

So realizing that I decided to think about which car do I “really” want, which car would be “The Car” for me. With that I came out with 2 cars, the new Range Rovers, and the Hummer H2 SUT. The problem is both cars are out of my budget with the cheapest Ranger Rover I saw was KD14,000 and the cheapest H2 SUT I saw was for KD13,000. So since I couldn’t afford any of these cars at the moment I decided to just stick with my car until I could. So as simple as that, my quest for a new car is over. Now I just need to break the news to the guy who is supposed to be buying my car this week…

Passed by the dealer to check out the new Lexus GS series. They didn’t have any on display neither in stock. The prices? The GS300 is for KD15,000 while the GS430 is KD17,000. Both cars have the exact same features except the GS430 is a V8 not six plus it has different rims.

A former Nazi graphic designer is suing Volkswagen, seeking credit for helping to design their famous logo. Nikolai Borg, 86, who now lives in Austria, says he has paperwork that can prove his involvement in the development of the VW logo 65 years ago. He doesn’t want any cash, says his lawyer—he just wants to live to see his work acknowledged. Volkswagen denies that Borg was involved in the design. The legal case begins next week in a Vienna court. [Link]

I went and picked up my temporary drivers’ license the day before yesterday. So yesterday me and Mark went out for a little drive so that I can take my car out and get to know my way around the streets of Kuwait. Since it was a Thursday there was alot of traffic which made things difficult for me since I don’t know my way around Kuwait yet and I am still trying to get used to all these driving rules. It’s harder driving in Kuwait then Lebanon because in Lebanon there are no rules basically, its free for all and there is very little if any law enforcement anywhere.

So yesterday I was standing at an intersection waiting for the traffic light to turn green but when it finally did, traffic started moving really slowly. Just before I got to the light it turned yellow. I still thought I could make it since I was just 2 cars behind. As I got to the light it turned red but I continued to cross since I didn’t want to wait till it turned green again. Once we crossed Mark started telling me that in Kuwait its a really big deal running a red light and that I should never do it, he was telling me how next time when the traffic turns orange to count to 4 when I heard sirens behind us.

I look behind me and see a cop on a motorbike approching my car. At first I didn’t realise he was going after me but then it hit me, he drove next to me and signaled me to pull over, I was like that’s it I’m fucked, it’s my second day driving and I’m getting a fine already. As we were pulling over Mark started telling me that whatever the cop says not to admit I had run a red light but that when I crossed it was still yellow. We stopped the car and the cop came and asked me why I had run a red light, I innocently told him it was still yellow when I was passing. Then he asked for my driver’s license. After briefly checking it out, he asked if I was Lebanese, I told him yeah I was… he was like oh… we can’t give a Lebanese a fine, just watch out for next time and don’t run a red light again.

Me and Mark were really relieved. I could say I’m very lucky or that this is the nicest cop I’ve ever met so far.
