As you’ve likely read before I have written about the egregious behavior committed by Mercedes Benz and drivers and their ilk.

Well this morning took the cake. I was on I-20 Eastbound – now this Mercedes C-class was in front of me, so I got the mother fuckers license plate on camera. Then he or she gets behind me – now I’m in the right lane and right around Exit 68 fucker decides to try to merge in except in the process strikes Artemis around the rear passenger side. Nice little dent. I estimate total damage to be $2K or so. Luckily the car is still able to be driven so now foul there.

But it HAD to be a Mercedes Benz driver – just had to be.

Oh I knew Artemis would get dinged and dented. But come the fuck on, I’ve had the car for less than two months and already? Damnation and a pox upon the house of that Mercedes driver.

This is the very first payment I’ve made. Paid early and paid a little bit more on the payment. Because from my research if you really want to build up credit, pay early and pay more because it helps a lot.

And more on the car – GM and Chevy have come a long way from what I remember from the 1980’s. Actually thinking back my 1978 Chevy Nova was a good car too.

But for what I’m paying for the car I gotta say – the features are Awesome. Power everything – the windows, locks, steering, and brakes. Plus a six speed automatic transmission, a 1.4L turbocharged I4-LUV engine, remote start. Has cruise control, USB outlets, a 110V outlet, and well I’ve already put 2000 miles on it.

That’s because when you stomp on the gas pedal – you hear the turbocharger kick in and it’s an awesome sound. In fact I haven’t managed to red-line the car yet.

So this morning we decided we’d head over to the The Beautiful restaurant. MLK Jr. was known to frequent this establishment back in the day.

And it is interesting. Buffet style – I had salmon cake, eggs, four strips of bacon, some hash browns and a biscuit. Yeah I know, it violates the carb thing but what the damned hell. It was special.

And it still hits me – I’m walking the path of civil rights leaders. It’s great.

So we’re looking at apartments and houses for rent. The prices go all over the map – though the houses all seem to go for $900 a month. Not too bad overall and several hundred under budget.

But the apartments are in a word fucking insane. $1200, $1500 etc. With a straight face even.

I’d much prefer we rent a full home than a cookie cutter apartment. It’s just some of the homes are so flung out there – 60 to 70 miles away. Could I drive it – sure but it’d take a huge toll.

So someone had raved about Gyro Brothers in Atlanta. We gave it a try last night and I have to say not good.

First off the lamb gyro was ice cold. Having had authentic Greek food before this was a slap in the face for us.

Plus there was the parking incident. Next to the place is a public parking garage or whatever passes for it when there’s a P with a circle around it. Well we get our ticket and into the garage – it’s confusing as all hell no signage, well except for the resident parking only signs. When we get back a garish orange sticker is on the drivers side window saying they’d recorded my license plate and next time they’ll tow it. Needless to say I scraped it off and used some Goo-Gone to get the sticky adhesive residue off the window.

I gotta give the Goo-Gone some credit – I don’t know what black magic they performed in making it but it does work very well. No more residue of adhesive is evident.
