Its a BORING car...

On my way out of the Palm I was stopped by a family of tourist as the valet brought my car. They asked to be photographed in front of it. I felt as though I was def. not driving a C-class coupe! Not so bad...

Well done. I hope you are happy kicking a guy when he's up. Shame on you. But all in all, you are right. They were Italian. What the hell do they know about cars...

Nothing like the one in good 'ol NYC.The steaks are still choice but the atmosphere just isn't the same with some jack-off in his Mickey Mouse shirt. They still manage a GiGi salad and a nice half and half... The one in Orlando isn't bad- if you can deal with the Hard Rock Hotel to get to it. (Put it this way, you couldn't picture Michael Douglas telling Charlie Sheen, "Go to Morty Sills, tell 'em I sent ya. Get rid of that suit kid its dog ****!")

Benzo;

Those Croats lost their sense of value with the loss of Marshall Tito and our not so stealthy action with the F-117 south of Zagreb.

Hence, those rattled Croats not only line up when they see a Yugo, but do backward flips when they see a Trabant! ...not to worry, just another photo opportunity.
