File this under craven material lust...

As a former Benz salesman, I try to stay up on what the old boys are doing. Of late, they've entered in to a horsepower war of sorts, putting out some ridiculously powerful and, of late, beautiful machinery.

This one is not their most powerful or expensive. But man is it gorgeous! Ixman awaits your donations...

Is everyone ready on the dark side of the moon?

Trivia question - where's that line from?

Hello and welcome to the Ixman inaugural blog, where we may or may not discuss things related to the mortgage field, and may instead concentrate on politics, beers of the world, cars, guitars, women (and men), dogs, movies, and other stuff that generally blows our collective dress up.

Please take time to comment on anything you read here or elsewhere. Give me an idea where you'd like this ship to head.
