In my typical crazy mode, I managed to have some fun this weekend. Audi was kind enough to send me an invitation to test out their new car as part of the audi driving experience on Texas Motor Speedway, and I was happy to oblige. My time was for 3pm on Sunday, and I just made it out there in time after spending time on the playground after Church and trying to fix a broken cable box. The speedway is some 35 miles from my house, so it a bit of a haul to get there.
Once I got there it was two hours of getting to drive some nice cars like they were stolen. The cars we drove were the Audi A4 with the 3.2 engine, a BMW 328xi, a Mercedes C300 and a Lexus IS 250. In my opinion, as i’m sure was the intent, the audi was quite impressive. It drove in a manner that inspired confidence and felt solidly built. The BMW was only a shade less desirable, mostly becuase it seemed to want to over-steer more than I would have expected for an all wheel drive car. Of course, that made it feel more like a typical BMW.
Certainly it was crazy in getting there, but on the way home I found out some bad news. Our site (www.free-singles.com) had gone down that morning, and I was still running adwords. I was about an hour away from home, with no real way to shut off the spigot. We wasted a fair bit on bad clicks as a result, but at least it was only for one day. The hard part was that it was a Sunday, which is often a pretty good day for online dating sign-ups. It was also a reminder that there’s an awful lot going on at any given time in my life right now.
