Well...as close as it comes these days...

The Seattle Washington Space Needle is having a contest and the grand prize is a trip into SPACE, for about 6 minutes or so...(sorry no stopping for an Ice Planet along the way!)

Contest rules say you have to be mentally and physically fit to accept the prize...so that first part knocks a few people in here from out of the running but the rest of you will be thrilled to sign up, I'm sure and they have some super cool prizes for the runners-up...

Go to www.spaceneedle.com for the ride of your life!

I just took a ride home...in someone else's car....'cause a deer liked ours so much he decided to stand in front of it and give it a hug

We had it paid off for a whole darnded month, too.

I give up

Sorry about your car Wish, is your kiddo okay?

I don't know exactly how they'd decide who was mentally and physically fit, but good luck with that folks.

Yep...We're okay, and thankful for that, at least.
We were already trying to find one, now we gotta find TWO vehicles! And financing.....Oh I feel a migraine coming on.
Thanks for askin, though

Actually, looking at the title I thought you meant a trip round the harbor in one of these:

(I wonder how many of these boats are now called Serenity?)

Huh. In a strong wind with a heavy crew- the thing rips apart! Reminds of of something....

Was that my primary buffer panel?

Yes...I can honestly say that it was....

Oh God, oh god we're all going to...drown?

We got a car!
Wasn't really what I wanted -but it runs...so that's the main thing... With my remote start- YAY!

When I called insurance they said they are still backed up FROM THIS WINTER!

Know what I miss? Tail fins and white walls and rediculously exaggerated curves...I look at todays cars and I feel NOTHING... It's like the latest piece of tin in the funeral procession of gray black white silver beige....
