Oh the places you'll go... and the vehicles you'll drive to get there.

It's getting pretty apparent that the question I get asked the most is not "what did you do this week?" but "where did you go this week?"

This week I was in Mill Valley, San Rafael, San Jose, Auburn and Sacramento. Yeah, I'm all over the place. That's why I get a company car.

My truck wasn't ready when I got here, so I got a rental car for 10 days. It was a 2013 Ford Edge. It was an ugly grey SUV type thing, but it was the nicest car! It had bluetooth connectivity, voice commands, a touch screen, Sirius radio, a rear backup camera, and heated leather seats. Super posh. I cried when I had to give it up.

Then I got my company branded Chevy Silverado. It's a cool truck, but it's not super fancy. The toolboxes in the back give me a huge blindspot, so little cars BEWARE. And it is not fun to park. I'm so glad I live in San Francisco where it's so easy to park everywhere (heavy sarcasm).

I will say this though, I get noticed. It is IMPOSSIBLE not to see this thing. And when people look into the window, they don't expect me. They expect a burly dude, not a blonde chick. 

But the highlight of my week was getting handed the keys to a Tesla Roadster. 

The weirdest part of driving this car was being only 6 inches off the ground vs the 6 feet of the ground that I'm used to. The city is way more intimidating in a smaller car. But it was so fun to cruise along the coasts of California, visit a couple beaches, then drive across the Golden Gate (getting ogled by tourists) and drive in downtown SF.

The BEST part about the Tesla Roadster- there is absolutely no guilt when you slam on the accelerator and take off (60 mph in 3.7 seconds) because you know you didn't have to burn a whole gallon of gas just to hear the engine rev like that. And the engine doesn't rev, it just sounds like a spaceship taking off. Super cool.

This will be a great story to tell my kids and grandkids someday. "I drove the first electric sports car." I could be a show-n-tell in elementary school.

I just sincerely hope that we have 1) teleportation or 2) hovercrafts by then.
