Craaaapppp... I went down to Detroit for their Fuse-In Techno festival thing...... and I'm just out of it man... sucked. The "oonce" music scene just has me buggered.

JimmyT - I don't see how you keep up on stuff man - either I'm getting more cynical, or the music just sucks now... :ugh:

Please educate me. I'm a european Electronica fan but being stuck in Nowheresville I've fallen off a bit.

Yeah, I've never heard the term "oonce", either. Kids these days... :roll: I work in a gay club, so most of the stuff I play is nothing like what you probably heard at that festival. I've never been much of a techno/hard house/whatever fan...perhaps because I've never done any drugs. :dunno:

Donut, what are you doing in Michigan? Did you suddenly move here or something? I've been a little out of the loop lately, so perhaps I missed your comments about that.

Heh, "old" is 25... at least, I feel old.

As for why I'm in Michigan... I'm up north of Detroit in Auburn Hills this summer because I have an internship with Chrysler. It's closer for me to get to Grand Rapids from South Bend, IN (where I'm in school) than it is for me to go from Detroit... crazy.

Yeah, SB is closer to GR than Detroit is to GR as well. I used to work at a club in SB called Heartland on Wednesday nights. I think my drive took about an hour and 40 minutes or so (maybe less). Detroit is about 150+ miles from GR, so on a good day you can get there in about 2 hours.

12?? Damn, that must take you forever! I don't expect you'd see any 3's along that route...that's the deep south of Michigan...lots of ******** there driving Fords and Chevys. :lol:

donut, I had to reply to this from a thread that was locked:

Interestingly, Mazda's "zoom zoom" campaign wants you to think the cars are comfortable and fun to drive cross-country since their ads usually take place out in some barren area or some fictional highway. What is funny about this is that I absolutely hate driving my Mazda3 long distances. If only my test drive allowed me to put 200 miles on the car...... I would have just stuck with an i model with the cushier seats.

It wasn't comfortable for you? I drove down to North Carolina in January and loved every minute of it. I thought it was VERY comfortable for a road trip. I can't wait to drive it out west next fall (if I get some decent time off from work).

Well, it appears my body was made for the 3. I guess I should feel lucky then that I find it a very comfortable car to drive? :dunno: By the way, I'm 6'2" and 180, so I don't have very much padding on my ass, either. :lol:

Man, why do the US automakers succeed so well in making comfortable seats?

Do you REALLY have to ask that question? Dude, the U.S. is the laziest country in the world with probably the most couch potatoes per capita. It's easy to figure automakers would find seating comfort a #1 priority when desiging new cars. :lol:
