224th New Thing - Bought a Subaru

I didn't have time to post last night, therefore I'm posting this late as this occurred yesterday (Thurs 5/31/12).
Image Detail
I bought a black 2009 Subaru Legacy 2.5i Sedan for about $18,000 (also got $2,500 off for my trade-in) at Groove Mazda. It is 4 cylinder, 170 horsepower, 4 speed automatic, all wheel drive, PZEV, 9-speaker Harman Kardon sound system, with power everything (including moonroof). PZEV means it is a Partial Zero Emissions Vehicle which is a vehicle that has zero evaporative emissions from its fuel system, has a 15 year (or at least 150,000-mile) warranty on its emission-control components, and meets SULEV tailpipe-emission standards. This vehicle category was created as part of a bargain with the California Air Resources Board (CARB), so that the automobile manufacturers could postpone producing mandated zero emission vehicles (ZEVs), which will require the production of electric vehicles or hydrogen fuel cell vehicles. Harman Kardon is a supplier of audio equipment to a variety of vehicle manufacturers including, BMW, Land Rover, Mercedes-Benz, MINI, Saab, Harley-Davidson, and Subaru. I believe the 9-speaker audio system includes tweeters, woofers, and an amplifier. The car was about $750 more than I wanted to spend but I think it will be worth every penny!

132nd New Thing - Played with Talking Tom Cat

I was searching through apps on my Droid Razr and came about Outfit7's Talking Tom Cat . This app is described as a cat that responds to your touch and repeats everything you say in a funny voice. I wanted to see what it was all about so I downloaded the app to my Razr to check it out. You can Talk to Tom and he will repeat everything you say with a funny voice, pet his body or head to make him purr, poke his head, belly or feet, grab his tail, pour a glass of milk for him to drink, and forget about him and he will yawn or sneeze. I find Tom only slightly enjoyable. What did you do today?

158th New Thing - Tried Sweet Potato Popchips

While we were at Albertsons doing our weekly grocery shopping, there was a lady there giving away free sample bags of Popchips so I took a sample of their Sweet Potato flavor. I had my 0.8 ox bag of Sweet Potato Popchips today with my lunch. Popchips were founded in 2007 in San Francisco as a healthy alternative to traditional potato chips. They aren't fried or baked, but popped by taking potatoes and adding a heat and pressure. They have won awards such as 'Best Snack' from Shape Magazine and 'Best Chips' from Health Magazine. My 0.8 oz bag had 100 calories, 3g fat, 95mg sodium, 16g carbohydrates, and 2g sugar. They had a slightly salted and sweet flavor in the airy chip. It was a good snack with my lunch.   What did you do today?
