I picked up my car from the tire shop today (sidewall was blown out, but a replacement tire was all of $60). Shop said it didn’t need an alignment and wasn’t pulling either way, which is a damn lie, but I wasn’t going to pay for an alignment anyways. Just gonna half ass one myself- front toe is the only adjustable…

I'd still drive it though

A Previa All Trac! Complete with mismatched body panels and ebay fog lamps!

I’m thinking of adding it to my “hey you’re an adult now you should probably get a reliable car” list for after I graduate in May. I like the way they look and their fuel economy, plus how well space is utilized.

Also, I would absolutely daily an orange Fiat 500. 

BMW X4. First time I’ve been aware of seeing one in my life. It’s sedan-y, so it’s less practical than its wagon-y sibling, but the same comparison can be made for actual sedans and wagons.

It’s definitely food! I’ve decided (yeah I know it’s February) that this year I’m going to get better at cooking. So I got some fresh tilapia from the store and seasoned it with paprika, cayenne, onion powder, salt, and black pepper, and pan fried it in butter. I sliced some potatoes down to about 1/16" and fried…

The last few weeks I’ve had a really weird sleep schedule and haven’t been keeping to normal meal times. Frequently I’ll wake up around 6 am, go to the gym, then work, then class, then come home, sleep, go back to work, go to more class, eat, go back to sleep, wake up, go to class, etc. all in a random order. As a…

Mmmm yeah

Some good for how cheap it is Brandy. It’s fine. I didn’t venture to the liquor store like many of my friends did today. My campus is closed for the cold- windchill is supposed to push down to like -30 F tomorrow when I would be walking to class. So I’m fine with no school. But the high school I work at has yet to be…

Two eggs, hashbrowns with onion, toast, black coffee. Hashbrowns are seasoned with salt, black pepper, red pepper, and cayenne. Toast is dry. 

Seriously, this is just terrible. Why would they do this?

She needs a bath. Badly. When is rain forecast? How did salted sludge even get to the mirrors?

117k miles, freshly rebuilt engine, not much rust, at least structurally. $3500 seems high for what it is, though. 

If you think they look like mini F1 cars, that’s because they do. Imagine ripping around in a go-kart with a 250cc 2-stroke and loads of aero at 160 mph. You’ve gotta be some kind of crazy asshole to even think about racing one. They’re so small and agile that they have a nuts amount of passing each race. They can…

Can’t put my finger on just what though.

I drove by this shop a dozen or so times from the summer until now. There are at least 9 aircooled VWs (some might just be fiberglass bodies, but all but one has wheels to my memory). Weird but cool to have this in my hometown.

This is an Accord, obviously.

It’s got billionaire doors

TWO new door handles! No junkyard parts! Seems a bit fancy for my car. The keys don’t match any other lock on the car, nor do they match each other, but the door with the broken lock already has a key that doesn’t match anything else. I’m not going to swap the lock cylinders around either. Only thing you have to…
