Don't be shy!

E-mail me your thoughts, an advice, a ride-offer or any random shit! I'll be glad to respond with something completely different!

Ballad in Plain D?
Really?
Why?

Dylan's least cheery song, except maybe the one about the family so poor it ends in murder suicide.
Does it sound cheerful in denmark?

I'd be glad to contribute to a fellow Scandinavian's expedition To Burning Man, but I'm on the wrong coast. You'd have to fly to San Francisco to catch a ride with me.

But here's a thought. You may not be aware of how inexpensive a used car can be in the USA. A perfectly adequate automobile can be purchased for far less money than a similar car in Scandinavia. I hesitate to suggest a dollar number, as there are lots of extreme examples, both of perfectly good 200-dollar cars, and of 5000-dollar cars that broke in half after a week, but let's call it a couple of thousand dollars. Might this be of interest to you?

Also, fuel consumption should not be a big problem, as there are more Toyota Corollas and Honda Civics in this country now than there are "raggar biler".

that's a great idea, actually ... would allow for maximum freedom, plus you could sleep in it if you had to ... then sell it ...

it would have to registered, though ... would this be a problem? i think that would depend partly on the state, IIRC massachusetts would not register a car if everything was not in good working order... it's definitely cheaper in some states than others, and NY is usually on the expensive side.

i have driven all over the country, and it's a lot of fun, and a great way to see it!

Well some of the danish are happier then some of the swedes most of the time. But all the danish can't be happier then all of the swedish all of the time.

Dylan told you to do something??

a pay phone was ringing
and it just about blew my mind
when I picked it up and said hello
a foot came through the line
