When those turn off and lights turn green, I just pretend I’m in ‘The Craft’. (I just showed my age)

We're through the looking glass.

I know! And that bone structure.

I loved the look on his face.

Notorious DiB for short?

Great, now ‘I Drove All Night’ is stuck in my head.

God took that day off.

I got nothing but well, you know, for this lady.

What hath Tumblr wrought?

Thanks! I can only afford one car at a time right now, so in terms of balancing practicality/fun it might not work. (Stupid adulthood.). I bought mine new (9+ years ago), my ex curbed all the rims on my tomCruise Sciontology, and it still pains me to see them.

I can see how that would be awkward... I’m working up the nerve to do my first autocross.

There’s a lot of negative reinforcement, and sometimes blatant opposition. I hate going to get my car serviced by myself, because some shops assume I’m an easy mark.
