A Gift From My Hard Drive: A New Series
So About that Mileage Test…
It kinda failed. In all honesty, I got kinda bored coasting around everywhere, and I wanted to drive my car lol.
BUT at the point that I stopped, I was sitting at around 25 MPG, and 200km per 1/4 of a tank. To me, this definitely proves my theory that a much greater mileage can be achieved by simply using the inertia of the vehicle to coast when possible.
I’ll probably give it another go in a little while, but until then, I want to enjoy my car - apparently I like driving too much!! 
If You Think YOU’VE Got it Bad…
You ain’t heard NOTHING yet!
I found out about a site a while ago. This site is a collection of peoples stories of crappy things that happened to them. They range from disaster dates, to incredible insults, to anything in between. The site is called F My Life, and you can view it at http://www.fmylife.com. They also have an Iphone app, as well as an Iphone friendly site if you’re browsing from your good old Iphone.
The great thing about this site is that it will always put a smile on your face, as there is always at least one hilarious crappy story on the first page.
Another great thing about this site, is that no matter what happens in your life, you know someone out there has it way worse. Not to say that that’s a good thing, but at least you know someone else out there feels your pain.
Here are a few excerpts of the most recents FML’s:
Today, my dog ate my little brothers medication. I spent all morning trying to make him throw it up, but it wasn’t working so I took him to the animal hospital, which was in a different city. $150 in poison control and vet bills later, I found the pill we thought he ate stuck under his paw. FML
Today, I found out my girlfriend is pregnant and then decided to break up with her. Why? We’re lesbians. FML
Today, I worked in the Emergency Room. A patient came in and the diagnosis was “private area caught in zipper”. All of my co workers and I were cracking jokes in regards to what happened. I walked into the room the patient is only to find my dad crying in pain. FML
Today, I was going to the mall and went through Macy’s. I saw a really sexy girl from behind; a blond wearing a tiny skirt and a nice blouse. Feeling like being a punk, I went up to her and said, “How you doing?” and slapped her ass. Everyone saw the mannequin fly into the mirror and shatter it. FML
SO that’s just a taste for you. When you get a chance, check out the site for yourself - anytime I’m bored, you’ll definitely find me on my Iphone surfing Fmylife.com.
I accidentally closed my browser before submitting this post, and had to re-type the whole thing over again. F my life. LOL
I Drive a 94 MPG BMW M5
Thats right - I said it. 94 Miles per gallon in a BMW M5. How you might ask? Read on and find out!
As some of you may know, I currently drive a 2000 BMW M5. As much fun as it is, it’s certainly a fuel hungry beast at best. The other day, I went to fill up and as I drove off, I reset my fuel consumption indicator, which temporarily displayed my real time fuel mileage, and it was a shocking 94 miles per gallon!
I thought to myself how is this possible, is my computer broken? What’s up with this truly strange reading.
Then it occurred to me, I was in neutral, coasting towards a red light, and my engine was at idle.
So then I got this crazy idea in my head - what if I were to coast as much as possible in neutral - what would my mileage be?
Fortunately for me, the M5 is a big car, and once it gets moving, its got a lot of momentum, and it will take a long time for it to slow down. This especially goes for large hills, and even on slight downhills the car is capable of maintaining a constant speed. Pretty incredible if you ask me!
So anyways, as I coasted along, my mileage test started. As an update, I’ve gone through all of Sunday, travelled 76 kilometers, barely used a 20th of my tank of gas, and my miles per gallon is just over 26 right now. This is all city driving, with plenty of stop and go traffic.
My goal for the test is going to be to match the mileage of a Toyota Prius, at a whopping 50 miles per gallon. My tank holds 18.5 gallons worth of fuel. This means I could have a range of 924 miles, or a whopping 1479 kilometers! Imagine that, a 50 MPG BMW M5!
I haven’t done anything else to my car by the way. I haven’t even checked tire pressures! So at the conclusion of this test, when I post my results, I will be performing a second test to try to optimize my car even further for maximum mileage.
I personally think the results of this test could be incredibly valuable, especially in a day and age where we are dealing with a recession, rising gas prices, and global warming. I suppose some people might have a problem with putting their car into neutral and having to put it back into the correct gear. Personally, it doesn’t bother me. Whether or not I continue to use this method after I complete my tests we will see, but for now, its a whole bunch of fun to say the least!
Be sure to check back for my next update. If anyone else is curious about trying this method of fuel saving, feel free to post your results in the comments of these posts. Happy coasting!

Blonde Paint Job
A blonde, wanting to earn some money, decided to hire herself out as a handyman-type and started canvassing a wealthy neighborhood. She went to the front door of the first house and asked the owner if he had any jobs for her to do.
“Well, you can paint my porch. How much will you charge?”
The blonde said, “How about 50 dollars?” The man agreed and told her that the paint and ladders that she might need were in the garage. The man’s wife, inside the house, heard the conversation and said to her husband, “Does she realize that the porch goes all the way around the house?”
The man replied, “She should. She was standing on the porch.”
A short time later, the blonde came to the door to collect her money.
“You’re finished already?” he asked. “Yes,” the blonde answered, “and I had paint left over, so I gave it two coats. “Impressed, the man reached in his pocket for the $50. “And by the way,” the blonde added, “that’s not a Porch, it’s a Ferrari.”

Letter from a Blonde to Mr. Bill Gates
Dear Mr. Bill Gates,
Subject: Problems with my new computer
We have bought a computer for our home and we have found some problems, which I want to bring to your notice.
1. There is a button ’start’ but there is no ’stop’ button. We request you to check this.
2. One doubt is whether any ‘re-scooter’ is available in system? I find only ‘re-cycle’, but I own a scooter at my home.

The Silent Treatment
A man and his wife were having some problems at home
and were giving each other the silent treatment.
Suddenly, the man realized that the next day,
he would need his wife to wake him at 5:00 AM for an early morning business flight.
Not wanting to be the first to break the silence (and LOSE), he wrote on a piece of paper,
“Please wake me at 5:00 AM ” He left it where he knew she would find it.
The next morning, the man woke up, only to discover it was 9:00 AM
and he had missed his flight. Furious, he was about to go and
see why his wife hadn’t wakened him, when he noticed a piece of paper by
the bed. The paper said, “It is 5:00 AM. Wake up.”
Men are not equipped for these kinds of contests.
The Dark Knight Meets Superman
If your a Batman fan, you won’t really like what you are going to see in the videos below. However they are hilarious.
No more headaches?
A woman comes home and tells her husband, ‘Remember those
Headaches I’ve been having all these years? Well, they’re gone.’
‘No more headaches?’ the husband asks, ‘What happened?’
His wife replies, Margie referred me to a hypnotist. He told me To
Stand in front of a mirror, stare at myself and repeat
‘I do not Have a Headache;
I do not have a headache,
I do not have a headache.’
It Worked! The headaches are all gone.’
The husband replies, ‘Well, that is wonderful.’
His wife then says, ‘You know, you haven’t been exactly a ball
Of Fire in the bedroom these last few years. Why don’t you go see the
Hypnotist and see if he can do anything for that?’
The husband agrees to try it.
Following his appointment, the husband comes home, rips off his
Clothes, picks up his wife and carries her into the bedroom..
He Puts her on The bed and says, ‘Don’t move, I’ll be right back.’ He goes into The Bathroom and comes back. A few minutes later and jumps into bed And makes Passionate love to his wife like never before.
His wife says, ‘Boy, that was wonderful!’
The husband says, ‘Don’t move! I will be right back.’ He goes
Back Into the bathroom, comes back and round two was even better than The First time. The wife sits up and her head is spinning.
Her husband again says, ‘Don’t move, I’ll be right back.’ With
That, He goes back in the bathroom.
This time, his wife quietly follows him and there, in the Bathroom,
She sees him standing at the mirror and saying,
‘She’s not my Wife.
She’s Not my wife.
She’s not my wife…’
His funeral service will be held on Friday.
