Happy Valentines! Ti's the time again. Grown men are out buying teddy bears, single people question life, lines at theaters make you feel like your entering a couple's therapy seminar. Our beloved grandma's are getting cakes, cupcakes and crayon scribbled cards from their grand kids. But when it comes to things with four wheels the first car that comes to mind when I thought of Valentines was the Citroen DS. Not sure why, maybe its the elegance of French design or maybe I saw a movie with one or something. Nevertheless they are quite beautiful cars, not screaming Ferrari beautiful, which have the same appeal as a Victoria's Secret model, but more like a model in a wedding dress or something. You get my drift, or not.

Got Techron?
Utah, somewhere along I-70.
Ever find yourself in the middle of nowhere and think you'll probably never be there again? And then a while goes by and next thing you find yourself in the same exact spot? Strange feeling. First time I was in this random Chevron was at night, this time I could notice all the nice scenery around. Utah is really a nice place to drive through, specially the dedicated "speed test" zones with long stretches of highway with a 80 mph posted speed limit. (Anyone know of a higher speed limit in the U.S.?) I'm sure Montana or the other Canadian province sounding states must have something faster. Speed limits aside the scenery is incredible and some parts of the I-70 and I-15 stretch makes one feel like they're driving through some sort of small scale Grand Canyon. A small town called Beaver claims to have the best tasting water around, didn't quite feel compelled to prove them wrong or right, but if your searching for some sort of American Evian then I suppose it would be a good place to start.
If your feeling adventurous and don't mind getting your car full of salt, you can drive around the Bonneville Salt Flats just west of Salt Lake City. All you have to do is hop out of the freeway and enjoy a 10 mile straight and 5 mile wide dried lake bed for your driving pleasure. Not sure if you can legally drive around as fast as you can, but I didn't notice any signs and after 2 hours of some very childish fun no one seemed to really care. I think they just figure the tourists need to get it out of their system and soon enough they'll get bored and leave. Anyways, always a pleasure to drive through this state.

???
Way to go, race in Helio Castroneves birth country and state and bash him as if he were some sort of novice driver. Wrong place, wrong time, hopefully this was an ill idea of a mechanic or other member of the team and not yours.

Market Street 1906
I received this on an email that claimed it to be the oldest movie produced. Not sure how accurate this statement is but it's quite a trip to watch. Supposedly it was recorded four days before the great San Francisco earth quake of 1906. Interesting to see the apparent lack of rules, imagine yourself trying to ride a horse down Market street today...

Poehali!
Great race last night, I was happy that Massa managed to finish in front of Alonso but upset that Petrov decided to go air born , perhaps he was excited about the upcoming 50th anniversary of Yuri Gagarin's trip to space? At least it serves as a lesson to wait a while to get back on the tarmac, kinda of reminds me of riding a bike and having your front wheel drop from the sidewalk, you have to be patient. But I think the Russian is still in good standing with the team, if Vettel can mature so can Petrov. I like the Renault-Lotus team, it's nostalgic to see the black lotus and I'm personally cheering for them this season. I'm not a big fan of Heidfeld but was glad to see him manage to take the team to the podium in the second race. We can only imagine how this season would be with Kubica. Pitty for Williams who hasn't finished a race this year, i'm sure some of the stock holders are scratching their heads wondering if the team was a good investment, i'm sure they will figure things out sooner or later.
