Which Car Gets the Shaft?
Sections: Auto Nov 17th, 2006 13 Comments
So I’m getting a MINI Cooper JCW GP for a week from MINI USA. We had talked about a week long test for MotoringFile way back last summer but up until a few days ago I had decided against doing iit simply because I didn’t have the time. However with some re-arrnaging of the schedule I found some time and will be taking possession December 1st.
All well and good you might say but here’s the dilemma: which car gets parked on the street? I’ve got a wonderful (any garage in Chicago is wonderful) two car garage where my own Cooper S and 3 series live. Beyond that I really don’t have much of a choice other than parking on the street in front of Lake Michigan. So do I put one of my own cars (both of which I love dearly) on the street for a week or do I relegate the fastest MINI ever to lowly street parking?
The Obligatory “I’m Busy Really Busy” Post

Over the last few weeks I’ve had a few emails from friends wanting to know about the new job was going. Well for one it’s kept be quite busy. But rather than give some sorry excuse about being too busy to explain, let me actually say what I can.
From the moment I walked in the door I’ve been involved in the art direction of a large retail brand launch scheduled for early 2007. But it gets all the more interesting when I tell you what the main product is: high-end lingerie. So for the past month I’ve been creating the online art direction of a lingerie brand. Yeah it blows my mind too. But even cooler, it’s looking more and more likely that the design direction will be picked up for use in print and on TV as well.
