Under Water

Today at lunchtime, a water main burst in Livonia near Interstate 96. Livonia is about 5 miles away from me, and about 3 miles from my job. Traffic was backed up everywhere after work since the interstate shut down.

On a brighter note, I went to test drive a Saturn Aura Greenline after work today. The Greenline Aura is a hybrid. If I were to get another Saturn, this would be the kind I would get. I was actually very impressed. It was a fun car to drive, the only thing I didn't like was how the A pillar was large and made a blind spot for the driver. It drove great though. It was a little scary stopping at a redlight and having the engine shut off, and the car run off the battery. When I let off the brake, the car started itself again. Pretty cool. It's either this car, which I get a supplier discount on, or a Honda Civic. The Aura is rated at 35 mpg, and the Civic at 40 mpg. The Aura is about 1000 pounds heavier and comes with more features though, and is a little classier in my opinion. I still love the Civic though, so we'll see. What do you think?







I'm going to Cedar Point this weekend in Ohio with Matt and his friend Jerry, so I won't be back until Sunday. I'm excited about the roller coasters!
