A man of few interests, predominantly being that of a hyperfixation with cars and a very small and specific collection of sci-fi and anime interests.
My car really just decides to have a random single misfire whenever I least expect it, and never again while I'm fully expecting one.
It can be days or weeks.

I'm doing coil and plugs this weekend... please just be that.

I thought I was slick till someone pointed out the cover had toncome off to access the oil filter cartridge anyway.

Gonna complain to the void for a second.
I'm actually starting to get real sad over having to give up my old RX8 a few years back. I'm missing that car something fierce. The only car to ever have an emotional impact on me. I miss it.

How did both Holden and Ford drop such horrible 5 speeds.

Anybody that says they bought an SUV for practicality is wrong and should of bought a wagon. They drive better, they look better and are usually better on fuel because they don't weigh 2+ tonnes.
Buy a wagon...

A portable car jumper pack like this is such an essential bit of kit. I've saved half a dozen strangers with dead battery's and half as many friends.
After gifting my GBX40 to my sister due to repeated callouts. I got this GBX45 from NOCO to replace it.
I highly recommend them.

Modern cars having their Alternator voltage controlled by the ECU is very smart, very demure. So that way if the car has any computer glitches around it, the car just switches the Alternator OFF.

I love that every car i buy has a honeymoon period of a few weeks then suddenly I'm chasing an elusive misfire that only rears it's head when on the off chance a BMW driver uses an indicator somewhere in the world. So twice so far.

Given that the Toyota Aurion can be had for as alittle as 3-4k. It might be the most underrated best car for the money,
200kw and 330nm make for plenty of go.
The GR family of V6s are probably the most reliable petrol engines period.
Fast camry 11/10 best car for the least money.

I love my cars, but godamn do they give me anxiety. It's always a roll of the dice if it's gonna have some often completely random tantrums and start funny. Most mornings it's fine. But then one morning. BAM is that misfire or knocking? Oh now it's gone and didn't come back what? #Holden #car

Wildlands and breakpoint are probably one of the few ubisoft titles i haven't yet tired of.
Making breakpoint require internet is silly though.

Not exactly news worthy, but every now and again my car has a singular random misfire then never speaks of it again.
This isn't about my car.

Weird there wasn't an interest tab for 'automotive' when making an account. It's like my one thing, lol, so I guess I'm finding car enthusiasts manually for a while.
Here's my 2011 Holden CalaisV sportwagon.

I never really learnt how to use 'Twitter' back in the day, and I probably won't learn how to use this very well so I guess I'll use this platform as a kind of open journal.
