Default New daily driver

Here is my old daily driver:



And here is the new one:



Well, the new one gets infinite miles per gallon (well, it is more like me consuming 1 gallon of water / 100 miles ), and it is actually pretty fast (I have hit 42 mph on a slight downhill road).

The truth is, I got tired of spending $250/month on gas (I am grad student at GA Tech and money is kinda tight) and decided to utilize the trains here in Metro Atlanta. Overall, my commute takes about the same time since traffic is always horrendous in Atlanta. And the bike also serves as my triathlon bike (hence the aero bars on it).

Oh, Isee. I could see the pictures myself so I assumed everyone else could, too. Let me see if I can fix them.

Edit: Are they showing now? I am not the best with computers...

Well, in the first link is my 1998 Z28, which used to be my daily driver. In the second link is my new road bike, a Dawes Lightning 1200. So I replaced the car with a bike (I still have the car, just don't drive it much anymore). The bike is an aluminum frame bike with a carbon fiber fork, which means the bike has more carbon fiber on it than all three of my Camaros combined
