Another update on my smart car

Update on Q's smart car

Yup, that’s right, another month closer to my mini-mobile. I still need to come up with a good name for it. If anyone has thoughts, feel free to express them in the comments.

Anyway, I passed up my chance twice at having a smart car sooner. There was an orphan at the Charlotte dealership on Friday, but it was missing the comfort package that I like. Then Monday of this week, I got a call from Winston Salem stating they had one, but it was the blue one which I can’t stand at all.

So, on with the waiting!

Who all loves to play with Legos?

…because undoubtedly, not as much as they love to play with them in Austria.

Lego Skyscraper in Vienna

To celebrate 100 years of the “Friends of Children” festival in Vienna, Austria, a tower soaring 96.73′ (about 9 stories) was built solely of Legos. 121 plates were designed and built by 3,000 kids using Lego bricks to help make up this world breaking record.

I played a little bit with Legos while growing up, but never could I have imagined having over 460,000 at my disposal to have fun with!
