Kia Rio Scavenger Hunt

Can you imagine being chosen to take part in a Kia Rio Scavenger Hunt to meet a famous celebrity in Los Angeles.  Wouldn’t that be a hoot?  These people had the opportunity so they started at the famous Griffith Park Merry-Go-Round which has been a historic landmark since 1937.  Did you know that that is where Walt Disney brought his children before he built Disneyland?

They went to Amoeba Records which is the most famous historic music store in Los Angeles.  Hmmm, I didn’t even know they still had record stores.  Apparently you can buy all of your music there on Vinyl, CD’s and Tapes.  No 8-track?  Next stop, Rodeo Drive where they had to count how many palm trees there were.  That’s not easy to do because you know you can get distracted easily by all the pretty women…  They got to eat at Pink’s Hot Dogs.  I’ve been there, the hot dogs are pretty good I must say.  Their final destination was the Roosevelt Hotel on Hollywood Blvd. where they met their celebrity Christina Milian.

That was a ride, wasn’t it?  I love scavenger hunts and that one was pretty good.  I think it would be cool to go on a scavenger hunt like that to meet a favorite celebrity.  If you were given the chance, which celebrity would you like to meet?  I can think of a few, but I think the one that I would most like to meet is Neil Patrick Harris.  I just think he’s awesome.

Nevermind the scavenger hunt, can you imagine driving a Kia Rio?  They have such awesome features like the USB Jack, bluetooth, navigation, rear camera and most notable UVO Technology from Microsoft.  You know you can have one right?  Just go to the Rio Explorer Page and check out their new 2013 5-door cars.  I think it’s an awesome piece of machinery, I think they should just call it a 5-door awesome.  But that’s just me.

If you and a friend could Zip and Dash anywhere, where woud it be?  I would love to take this car to the beach, any beach is fine by me.

Best Songs To Play With The Windows Rolled Down

When you are driving, what songs do you like to listen to with the windows rolled down?  I personally don’t drive, but I do like to listen to music when I am in the car with Darrin.  I remember when I was a teenager in the 80’s and we used to drive with music blasting so the whole world could hear it, now of course I just have whatever is on the radio playing, but I’m too old to blast it now.  The only time we ever blast the music is when we’re showing off.  So which song do you think that I would blast if I were driving in a car?  The answer would probably surprise you.

Kia has a new Rio for 2012 which has amazing features that I think you will love, like for example the 40MPG which is probably the best reason to buy a car, but they also have heated leather seats, a button to start the engine, blue tooth wireless technology for your hands free and UVO voice-activated Infotainment system by Microsoft, I’ve never heard of that but I’m intrigued.  They don’t stop with the inside, they have LED lighting instead of light bulbs for your back lights.

So getting back to what I was talking about at the beginning, you can enter your favorite song in the Kia Rio “Best Songs with your Windows Down” playlist” on Facebook and have it added to a playlist on Spotify.  What did you think I picked as my favorite?  If you guessed “Queer Nation” by Elephant you were correct.  I know it’s explicit but I think I would blast that mofo for shock value, I mean besides it being an awesome song of course.  I chose that song because I am newly addicted to Elephant, I mean they are gay twin rappers, who wouldn’t be intrigued by that?

You can add your favorite song as well by going to the “Best Songs with your Windows Down” playlist on Facebook and typing in your favorite artist and/or song and clicking the search button, choose a track and submit it using your name and email address.  If I had to choose another band with another song I’d have to go with Justin Utley’s song Room to Breathe, or really any of his songs for that matter.  I chose those 2 artists, Elephant and Justin Utley because they are out loud and proud gay artists and I support my community.

Hey I know, you should pick a song too, make sure you have Spotify installed so you can add a song and see if your song made it to the playlist, and if you do, tell me what song you chose and why.  Check the playlist every day to see what new songs are being added, you might find something new to listen to.  Oh and if you get a chance, go out and buy a new 2012 Kia Rio, it’s a sound investment… Get it?  Sound?  Cause… the music… it was funnier in my head.
