Rapidan River sweet reserve red


wooo...... who will drink this stuff?
well. my wife I think. and she still complained it is not sweet enough!?
It is very fruity, not acid, and extremely extremely sweet (for me). I have not figured out what variety it has (i bet it is a mix)
Funny it is a virginia wine which I feel should not criticize too much. but anyway, it kills me.

Honda CRV


My wife send Odyssey for a detailing. So, they gave her this CRV for temporary.
well... the suspension is sort of hard. It seems it is trying to make it more jeep off-road feeling rather than a comfy SUV. Quite different than RAV4.

The engine is not that power... but sort of sufficient. The fact is.. who heck will drive this car off road?

Toyota Sienna





hohoho....
so, after I bought a Odyssey, then I got a chance to drive this 'main competitor'
I will say I made a right decision, from space and utility perspective.
overall, it is nice drive and well balanced car. the manuveuring is not bad, not lack of juice for its engine but not too much either.
the third row space is what caught my criticism. the head and knee space is below my expectation. the useless SUV style shift stick design took out some of my favorite space too.
but generally spreaking, a well done car and no wonder it is competitive on the market.
