Cars and stuff

On Thursday there was this monster greeting us in the parking area between the two office buildings.

There's some weird things in the front and back

A rumour has it that they got pulled over by the police during a test drive because of this thing in the back

This seems to be a big topic of conversation around here. This "beauty" will travel across America for weeks and weeks and do some data collection about the local road conditions along the way. You can track their progress at http://mobiletour.vaisala.com/
Cake!

After the first couple of days of relying on other people to give me a ride to work (public transport? Bah humbug) I received my own car on Tuesday afternoon. It was a nice, although somewhat ugly Nissan Versa. However, after the weekend I received a note saying that "Nissan has recalled your vehicle" and that it needed to be changed to another one. No idea what the problem was but I got an even nicer Chevrolet Cruze in return so can't complain! After driving it home I had to spend some time reading the manual since I had no idea what some of the buttons on e.g. the steering wheel or the rear-view mirror were supposed to do. I had tried pressing one of the buttons just to see what happens and it had started calling the OnStar service. Abort, cancel, eject, stop!
