Vacation... all I ever wanted? or "Dude, where's my car?"
(Please note: there is a car story here... really.)
The word "vacation" has never been one that has meant much to me. Growing up time-off from school or work was an opportunity for my loving family to work on the house, an exercise in perpetual futility. Tear down a wall, build it back up. Paint the inside, outside, walls, parakeet and dog. Backyard flat? Hell, the kids can dig that fish pond. Oh, and it needs to be 4-ft. deep. I'm not really complaining... just unlocking the door so you can understand my malfunction. To me a vacation is really just a time to get things done, even if it is work related, and really not to lounge on a deck or vegetate. Not that something like that is wrong mind you... I'm just damaged in my way of thinking compared to most of the human race. Thanks for another thing, Mom and Dad.

Hola. Just a little ditty to illustrate how much Banks has been in the media this Summer. It's been amazing!
It has gotten to the point that we've even coined a new term for hot rodding it to the max. We're going to "Banks it."
Nice.

There are certain vehicles that are automatically associated with certain people. Let's try a few:
Batman
James Bond
Steve McQueen
The Green HornetGet the idea? Now tell me what comes to mind when I say Arnold Schwarzenegger? Hmmm... it has to be a Hummer, the really big kind. Everyone knows that association, even my grandmother. Well, maybe she isn't the best example, but you get the idea.
