In a week or so, I’m going to start Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for my GAD (Generalized Anxiety Disorder) and mild Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD).

Pretty happy with these - they’re way better than the AVS ones I tried. These installed pretty easily and don’t impede the auto-up/auto-down feature of the windows.

No, those aren’t scratches. They’re little, tiny spiderwebs. My car is covered in them, as is every other car in the employee parking lot at work. I don’t know what kind they are, but every year around this time, they float around the parking lot and leave their webs everywhere. I saw two of them on the car the day…

It’s my first Father’s Day. Chandler and his mom got me matching shirts for me and Chandler, a framed picture with Chandler’s handprints and Ginger’s paw prints, a “What would Johnny Cash do?” pillow that matches our living room, a custom printed book of Chandler and Ginger pictures, and WeatherTech in-channel vent…

I’m up extra early on a Saturday getting the tires rotated in my wife’s CX-5. It’s 300 miles overdue. Oops.

The dealer I bought my Mazda6 from is a Kia/Mazda/Volvo dealer. They even have two different websites:

Mitsubishi Lancer SportBack.

The front end is ugly. And apparently, a flock of birds agreed (see the windshield).

Dropped the 6 off for replacement of the loose chrome trim on the trunk (under warranty, of course) and the dealer sent me home in a 2017 Kia Sportage FE.

Figured I would drive the S10 to town last night since I hadn’t driven it in a while. Went to unfold the mirrors and this one fell off in my hand. Decided to just drive the car instead.

This trim is literally about to fall off the car. It’s barely hanging on. I don’t know what or who broke it.

First, there was the upholstery of my driver’s seat peeling. Zero other Mazda6s, to my knowledge, have reported that issue. It was fixed under warranty, but I digress.

The paint is FUBAR (I’ve never seen so many scratches and scuffs down to the metal - and the hood and roof have no clear coat left) so I just sort of half-assed it. But, it looks better than before. The wheels are sort of silver again instead of brown.

My car is having a trim piece replaced under warranty so I did what I do best and wandered around the showroom.

Especially since I’m usually parked in a corner or in the back.

Trunk was loaded down and we had the A/C going, too. Did half the trip on the interstate at 75 and half on the state highway at 65. 110 miles total.

...is a sexy vehicle. I love this design. I actually like this front end better than the current one. I followed a 2014 or so Charger tonight and it was so clean and just a nice looking car.

Of course, the waterlogged backup light has dried and has yet to return to its condensation-filled state, so there’s nothing they can do about it. I even purposely went through a car wash (touchless, of course) beforehand and nothing. Drove it in the rain the other day, too. No moisture buildup whatsoever. It’s like…

2010 Kia Forte

It rained all day yesterday, pretty much, so I made sure to drive my car and leave it outside all day so the taillight moisture would come back. It had already dried up.
