Jalopnik's take on the RS4 (excerpt)

From Jalopnik

It is my opinion that at root, all German cars secretly want to be either trains or tanks. The RS4 is a bullet train that wants to be a rocket sled.

Precision steering, anonymous looks, endless torque, an engine tuned by Slayer and as you mentioned, mythological Scandinavian brakes add up to the car of my dreams. Audi has built my drug! Sure, the seats are no good, the mirrors are useless, the ride is drunken-Irish-husband-abusive, I've had the car for six hundred miles and have filled it up four times (remember -- they give us the car with a full tank) but WHO CARES?

Haha, thats about right. We're getting to the point of making sweet things at work.

to do, of course...

..is the title of my to do list at work. that one is actually getting done. Now if I can only maintain this as well. A suggestion from a specific someone brought me here today. Also, opened up a flickr account, johntframe to view. but man, the mapping feature is amazing, I had heard about it but had no idea it was that well done.

So without further ado, here are some photos, in typical jtf-ashion...

We went for a bike ride.


stopped by manhattan square.


they're re-doing the ice rink, its more fun looking now.


A little bench area outside, should be nice in the summer too.


Main and East. They just turned the liberty pole off.


Somewhere on Clinton


It was funny then, its funny now.


the only action shot all night. abandoned garage on mortimer.


Some of the buildings have cool structures. Lots of stuff in the city is like this, its all above street level.


Andrews street bridge..


And then I did a longer exposure and set the camera down:


I went to Lux to see the Murray crew:


and then everyone started showing up, and Greg brought the Paolas.


And it was good. More later I think.. I've got some fun work to do first!
