Too bad there aren’t any good sand dunes around here. If there were, I might have to start lobbying for one of these things… Sand-X

I just ran across the latest Gymkhana Video from the mind (and right foot) of Ken Block.
If you haven’t watched any of his other videos, you really need to get out more… Search “Ken Block” on YouTube or Google (videos). The guy is amazing.

So, given a 30 second lead time, in a hot convention space, this is the best I could do…
I haven’t heard who won the Flip camera yet.
HGTV House Hunters looking for buyers…

I just got an email from the production company that does House Hunters for HGTV. They are calling for buyers that are ready to buy. The specific quote is “in the late stages of buying.” I would assume that would mean that they are looking for people that know what they want and will be ready to make an offer in just a few outings to view property.
There is a compensation package for the buyers, $1000 for those they select to follow. And I think it might also be a lot of fun.
If you are a buyer, not currently working with an agent, and you think you will be buying in the next month or two, give me a call and let’s see if we can get on HGTV’s House Hunters.

BMW M3 gets better mileage than a Toyota Prius

Shocking?
Sure, but let’s think about this. The guys at Top Gear did a comparison… both cars were driven the same way. And the BMW M3 did deliver better mileage than the Toyota Prius.
The way they tested was to drive the Toyota as fast around the track as it would go, and then match the speed with the M3.
Of course that means that the Toyota was driving hell-bent… and the M3 might as well have been going to get groceries. And that is the difference. Had the M3 been pushed, it wouldn’t have returned the mileage it did… of course, then the Toyota wouldn’t have been keep up.
But it just goes to show you that the driver and the techniques they use have a TREMENDOUS effect on the way a car performs… both for speed and efficiency.
