Work Update!

<div class="IPBDescription">omg...win</div> Welp.
Today was actually pretty well.

I had one other security guard with me who is higher up than me. (Actually rides in a cop car). We also had workers that stayed until 3am so they kept us busy for a while. We tagged some people, he checked some abandon buildings. We kept each other busy and free from complete boredom.

Anyways, once everybody left. 3am.
The last 4 vehicles left and my buddy (Jared) went to the gate to let them out. While he was doing that, I decided to check up on the cars i'm supposed to watch. I check the Lexus', BMWs and Jaguars. Then I noticed a window was down on one of them. This was highly parculliar *spelling* to me. I stop, turn on my high beams and E.blinkers. I check out the car and notice nothing wrong.

As I was on foot, I decided to check the other cars. I noticed that they all had their windows down. I go down a whole line of like 30'ish cars and I see they all have their window down...and the best part is....the keys are in them.

Jared eventually catches up to me and I tell him the news. He's in shock and as for me. I do my evil giddy school girl laugh >:].

I asked him if he would care if I drove some of them. He said no, go right ahead.
Sooooo:
Car #1) Lexus - Nice interior, accessable, dvd stuff and on star kind of mapping.
Please remember that I am on an air field*. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->
I haul this baby down the road, I reach 100mph, I bring her back, make a hard turn to slide and I park it.

Car #2) Jaguar X8 - Same as Lexus, all luxury and blah blah blah.
I start it up, race it down the road...90mph...I being highly disappointed, park it back.

Now for the coup de gra
Car #3) BM f'ing W - An instant +15 to Pimpage. I loved this car. Only drawback was the hard turning, but it could probably be changed like on my Lincoln.
My friend is leaving so I hop in the BMW and catch up to him. We talk for a bit at the maingate and I decided I wanted to leave about an hour or two earlier. So I speed back to my car, but before I park it. I make a run down the airfield... TOP SPEED 140MPH!!! Holy chet it's a rocket. I loved this thing.

Then I parked it, got in my car and sped out. I get home at 4:18 (20'ish minutes to get home). Now at 4:34/:35 I post this. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->

I have found a new thing to do to keep me busy at work for several hours. lol
Life has just became greater!

(btw, these cars I watch are the ones that will be shown on tv later, I guard cars for the future! lol). So I drive 'em before you see 'em.
*Furthest I go on the airfield is 1/2 the runway btw*

    I do like Beamers, really. But I wouldn't own one, because that would make me a Beamer driver. And there's something about most of those.... <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Incidentally, you could quite easily be prosecuted for that I suspect, as fun as it is. Just giving up a heads-up.

    Haha sweet! Can't fault German engineering can ya. BMW's are great cars but what you really need to check out is pretty much any car made by TVR.

    Well, my buddy and I are the only two people on the entire air base. ^.^

    Man, this BMW would put a <!--emo&::fade::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/fade.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='fade.gif' /><!--endemo--> to shame

    Even though we are, I try to refrain from doing something stupider. lol..like spinning around and etc.

    I drive a 71 beige pinto to work everyday. Nothing like 8track, busted up fm radio, because the atennae is ripped in half at the bottom. And nothing like broken air conditioning. Ahh the sweet smell of ripped up vinyl and rusted iron.

    sigh..nothing like near drop poverty. How I can afford a computer and internet? HAHAHA campus dorm....woot.





    jk


    im not that poor, although I did grow up being a passenger in one.

    Probably my next purchase, assuming the Mark V hasn't lowered in price enough by then. <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    I remember I once read about a couple of airport workers who overturned a vehicle. They were driving a <b>jeep</b> on a <b>dry, bright day</b> on the <b>runway</b>.

    Have fun though! Just be careful not to scratch them.

    Dude, that effing ROCKS.

    I seriously wanna be a security guard now. That would so kick **** with this.

    Grats, and you better become a race driver after a year of this <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Oh ya, almost forgot.

    Last night when I was there doing my walk-arounds. I found a bottle of vodka in one of the staff trailors. All I have to say is that Sprite + Vodka is actually good. lmao <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Not to put your shiny cars down, it's an interesting read, but... 140 mph top speed? A rocket? Most cars over here have a top speed of 140 mph+... <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    I could of hit 160 to 200 on the other cars, but I haven't explored much of the other 1/2 of the airfield and only drove three cars. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Yes yes. I was picking something the average human could buy.

    Golf GTi - Viable.

    DB9 - Not.

    And incidentally, that Beamer will waste a lot of power, which you could achieve similar speeds with a much lighter frame.

    Well you can always hope

    [EDIT:]A DB9 is actually relatively cheap compared to other fast cars, its only(only?) £103,000, and i think a 360 Modena would set you back about £160,000

    Well.. it's that or a Civic Type R, if I can scrape the cash together.
