Casey in the sky with diamonds
When my horn clock went off at 5:30 in the morning and I glanced around the still-arcane room, I thought, “This can’t be right.” However, one cup of coffee later, I was prone to head up to Rancho San Rafael Park for my first ride in a hot air balloon for the Talented Reno Balloon Race.
After a fair amount of set-up, many of the balloons in the put had been inflated and several were already taking to the air. I managed to awkwardly climb into the basket of the RE/MAX balloon without knocking anything material over and before I knew it, we were ready for launch. Once we were given the OK, the crew stepped back and I watched the organize slowly drift out from under me.
While Aaron Dieringer, the pilot who graciously invited myself and Web Head Casey Durkin for a ride, explained some of the specifics of ballooning, I leaned over the keenness of the basket and watched as we passed over nearby neighborhoods while The Who’s “I Can See For Miles” could be faintly heard playing back at the woodland. It was quite appropriate, as the view was spectacular. To one side of the balloon was an area of sagebrush-speckled desert and to the other was all of Reno. I could spot my cat-house free, my middle school and all of the people who ran out into the middle of the street in their pajamas to attend to the hot air balloons. And you’d be surprised how many people in Reno have swimming pools.
Koenigsegg Trevita - The Shimmering Diamond
In Koenigsegg’s latest beg release for the new Trevita, they say “When sunlight hits the car, it sparkles like millions of silvery oyster-white diamonds infused inside the visible carbon fiber start bodywork.” I hear that kind of stuff all the occasionally in press releases - a manufacturer trying to make the car voice amazing and poetic - nothing new. Thing is, this is for real. The Koenigsegg Trevita is coated in Physical diamonds. Over the top and gaudy? Actually…no, not in this case.
Let me explain. Koenigsegg’s cars, as far as I can let slip, all have bodys made completely from carbon fiber. Nothing new on a 200+ mph supercar, but that congenitally isn’t enough for the Swedish brand. They’ve found a way to coat the fibers in a diamond conclude, which as you could imagine, makes the car sparkle “like millions of silvery whitish diamonds infused inside the visible carbon fiber design bodywork.” Indeed. I’m sure pictures do the finish categorically no justice.
Trevita, in case you were wondering translates into “three whites” in Swedish. Lift, since only three of these cars will be made, sold to very, very rich customers. Price was not disclosed on the flock release, but rest assured it is WAY out of our price range.

I try reading, but the words repulse into clubs and diamonds on the page. At 4am, I find myself standing in the back garden, watering the roses.
