2011 Kia Sportage TV Ad

The ads have started for Drew's family. Go check them out... they're really awesome cars. :)

Drew

I'm REALLY falling in love with my new vehicle, Drew.  His epic MPGs are being very kind to my pocketbook. :)   And he's really stylish too... and apparently unique.  Good luck finding another 2011 Sportage on the road... I STILL haven't seen one. ;)

However... there is one thing I desperately miss about Brian.  I bought Brian right after the accident... and his driver seat was VERY comfortable.  I hadn't realized it at the time, but the lumbar support provided my back with a great deal of pain relief for all the driving I do.   But now, I have Drew... and he doesn't have the lumbar support.  The EX model does, but the LX does not.... and I didn't know how much I would miss it until it was gone.  It took about a week of no lumber for the back pain to show up.

But there is a solution.  I picked up a lumbar pillow... and while it is not a perfect solution, it's not bad.  I do have to adjust it almost everytime I get in, but at least the backpain is gone.  Now it's time for a roadtrip... to see if that's truly a solution. :)

We'll see... but one thing I know for sure.   I love Drew. :)

Two for the price of one...

...because Drew is going to Vegas in December! :)

He Who Has Not Yet Been Named.... finally named...

Well I was going back and forth, trying to come up with a good name for the last week.  And I thought I had it... and nearly posted it about an hour ago... but on further reflection, I changed and settled on this new name.

As some of you may recall, since I began naming my vehicles (or rather since I adopted the name my friends gave my first vehicle and then decided to do the second on my own), I've had 3 criteria for the vehicle name... well ok, 5 really...

1. Name must be male (I'm gay after all.)
2. Name must be a boy band member's name.
3. Name must be a character on Queer as Folk (US).
4. Name must in some way relate to the color of the vehicle.
5. Name cannot be used more than once for my vehicles.

Fulfilling these was tricky this time.  And next time, I'm not sure what I'm gonna do cause really... there are only so many boy bands. LOL

So... without further ado... may I present...

DREW

Yep... he's Drew.  And here's how the name came about...

1. Well duh... Drew is a male name.
2. Drew Lachey is the cutest member of 98 Degrees. (hehe)
3. Drew was a pro football player on QAF that came out as gay and dated Emmitt for a while.
4. The D in Drew is also a D in Diamond... the shimmering metallic paint took me that direction.
5. It's not Justin or Brian... so I'm good!

Drew has a little of 300 miles on him already.  (He and I have been doing some male bonding.)  But he's getting a bit of a rest this week.  I carpool to work and it's my coworker's turn to drive. :)
