chester and i met up with jaime and zac up in LA and went to the auto show. the ‘cars of 007′ exhibit w/ aston martin was pretty cool. the audi booth was the usual… the new A8 in person is absolutely beautiful. it’s everything the 7-series could/should have been. honda’s new accord coupe is pretty nice…way better looking than the sedan. volvo’s new XC90 SUV was pretty sweet too. not as many concept cars this time around… just mostly production cars. oh, the new Honda Element is awesome. i really like it. suicide doors seem to be back in fashion (the Mazda RX-8 had them as well… i like the car much better in person than i did in the photos previously)

strange thing happened when we were driving back to my sister’s place for dinner - i had a couple of loose AA batteries in my pocket, along with some change, my cell phone, and a bunch of sand (from the beach on saturday). anyway, i was driving, and then all of a sudden it felt like my hip was on fire. i reached my hand into my pocket (on my jeans), and felt this really hot heat emanating from my pocket. i reached in (at this point it was painful), and burned my fingers on something. all of a sudden it hurt like bloody hell and i was scrambling around trying to yank all the shit out of my pocket. it looks like the batteries formed a complete circuit with something and started discharging or something. i dunno – but my finger is still burned from it.
