Hell yes!

I look forward to your ”shitboxing around the world” series where you land in a foriegn locale, fix up some hopeless case, and then soak in some local culture before ditching the thing.

Has nothing to do with the city. In fact, the city’s citation just ended up being a great way for me to create a successful (and controversial series) of stories about government overreach (or resident selfishness—you decide!).

Five years of great fun, though! Definitely lived the dream buying every car I ever wanted (I know, I have cheap taste), road-tripping, wrenching, etc etc.

But I’m gonna reel it in just a bit.

My brother makes me do these things.

That IS a nice tow rig, and an even more fun race car. (B-Spec forever!) All of the dark forest greens need to make a comeback on exteriors.
