Just Scratch the Chrome off

I chuckled when I saw this:
It's a new Nintendo DSi with a set of SONY headphones at E3

STO - LADOT

I drove the LA Marathon*... backwards. I hit what seemed to be every single road block and road closure trying to get myself to work this morning.

I have now officially seen every single Prius in the LADOT - STO (LA Deptartment of Transportation - Special Traffic Ops) division fleet.

*My work is within 2 blocks of 7th & Fig.

The Marathon start (and the center of all the madness is at 6th&Fig)

I hit my first roadblock there and started my long, counterclockwise lap at 5AM

I eventually made it to my parking structure, but not without passing through the Fashion District of LA.  Place is dirty ass hell.

It looks exactly like this

Engrish Much?

"Rough, full of the aggressive design, unique to the king of a perfect gas"

"Sensitive buttons help you to come"

Lies. All lies.

Sticks!

Joysticks!
