Driving Tunes

Hello cube® enthusiasts!

Last year we asked people to give us a playlist of their favourite, top 10 driving songs. I loved it, it turned me onto some wicked music I hadn't had the chance to get into yet. There was an eclectic mix, to say the least.
As a general wondering, what kind of music do you bop your head to when you roll in your cube®? It's definitely a car that lends itself to a fun ride and it's a car for artsy people and artsy people tend to have great taste in tunes. Are you someone that gets caught air drumming at a stoplight? Or perhaps you're the person I can hear coming up my street from 3 blocks away. I think it's L'il Wayne but I'm really not sure. Actually I sort of hope that's not a cube® driver ;)

Anyway, let us know what's up with your musical taste. We like you and want to know everything about you. (In a not creepy way).

Be good,

Jon

Vancouver Island

Some photos from my roadtrip up Vancouver Island this summer.  While camping at Sprout Lake, on my way up to Tofino, I spotted another BLUE CUBE camping!  I pulled up beside it to take these stealthy shots.  And later talked to the owner [not a winner] but a fellow cube enthusiast indeed! 

Nissan Puppet driving video

Happy Anniversary Cubers! here is a video of one of my favorite moments this year; driving around Ile d'orleans in Quebec with my puppet Lucy's hair blowing in the spring breeze. Music by my brother www.myspace.com/bradleythomasmoore.

Thanks for a great year NISSAN! I am now planning my third cross-continental journey. I have had a great summer on the west coast, time to head back to montreal....! 

AIR CONDITIONING???? please

hey Cubers, is it just me, or is the Air Conditioner totally useless?  I dont want to bad-mouth the beloved CUBE, but I recently drove down to NY, and for anyone who has been on the New Jersey Pikeline driving into Manhattan at rush hour in the summer heat, it is FRICKING STRESS-HELL!!!  I had a car full of people, no clue of what exit to take, huge trucks and cars were whizzing by honking and there was no AIR FLOW what-so-ever.  I was sweating buckets and we had to roll all the windows down just to breath, which added chaotic traffic noise to the already peaking stress levels overflowing in the car.  Did I miss something in the manual?  Is it broken?  With the "auto" setting, cranked to max it goes down to 18 degrees, but still....no air flow. When I have air circulation from outside, there is some air, only while driving, which does not help if you are at standstill in traffic.  HELP?! Anyone else?  Must admit, it was super fun to drive into NY City with the CUBE!  Music blasting!  But cool air would have been.....cool.   MORE STORIES SOON.

Simple Pleasure

I've never been a huge car person.  I've never really cared much for cars or many material objects in my life for that matter.  Sure there are all sorts of gizmos, gadgets and toys that I've had over the years that I've loved and enjoyed, but none defined me and I never defined myself by the things I've had.

I still don't define myself by the Cube I drive, but of all the many gizmos and gadgets I've had the Cube really is near the top of the list.  A big part of that reason is the way I earned it.  Getting to do fun and creative projects to prove myself Cube worthy was a big personal investment.  It was a very fun experience and each time I get into the driver's seat I'm reminded of it.

The other part is the genuine joy I have when I drive it.

The other day I was visiting family and had to run out to the corner store.  Being in suberbia I chose to drive the 1.5km.  It seems like a strange thing for to reminisce about, but from the push of the button to the zig zag through the suburban streets to my destination I felt bliss.

Cube VS Limo

So, tomorrow night i will have the lovely pleasure of going to my good friends stagette. Seeing as i dont drink much, i'm always the default DD. For once, i was actually excited about being the DD cause we could cruise in the Cube, windows down, 80's playlist going... i could picture it all now! But alas, there will be a limo to escort us ladies around... i'm not complaining... BUT the Cube would be WAY more fun!!!

hmmmm... maybe i can talk them into letting the Cube "lead" the limo... hmmmm
