After a suggestion I’ve decided to write a weekly series recapping all the cars I’ve ever owned. Here is the first installment:

My First Car
December 16, 1985 was the night that Gambino family boss Paul Castellano was murdered along with his bodyguard Tommy Bilotti in front of Sparks Steakhouse in midtown Manhattan.

Let’s figure out how old this globe is. Belize became independent in 1981, Cape Verde in 1975. So pre-1975.

Just my personal opinion but if you're going to spend a zillion dollars on a paint-to-sample color, make it an actual color.
This 2023 Porsche Taycan GTS Sport Turismo is finished in paint-to-sample gray over Black and Chalk leather, shows 19k miles, and it's listed now on BaT!

Back at it. My uncle and his then girlfriend with his 1964 Corvette. Bought new, he owned it until his death earlier this year. Dad's Barracuda is the background.

I don’t think these Mazda pickups were ever common and they’re now downright rare. The same trucks were also available as Ford Rangers here, and they’re not the same as US Rangers.

I once pumped gas on the New Hampshire side of the border with Massachusetts and the cashier had never been to Boston. Her boyfriend was the cashier at the gas station across the street.
Older gentleman walks into the Map Center and asks if it's true that I'm moving to Providence.
I tell him I'm trying to get a bigger space and that might be in Providence.
He told me he lives in Pawtucket and he'd never go all the way to Providence. But he'd miss me.
It's like 2 miles.

I stopped posting Japanese commercial screens like two weeks into running this account (something like that deserves its own account) but I really need y'all to see how hard the Japanese G.I. Joe logo goes.

I'm noticing a trend where the people who can't wait to offer advice and think they're helping are recommending bonkers European product like 3.0T Audis.
The trick to keeping friends is to let them buy whatever they already wanted and then sagely nod and say, "Oh, I've heard those are really nice."

QOTD: Has anyone ever followed your car buying advice? Never for me.
My boss bought a new one earlier this year while I urged her to go for the hybrid, or literally anything else instead, and she still ended up with one.
Genuinely insane that anyone goes for them.

People sneaking in Suzuki Jimnys in the United States. Pretty awesome. The new Toyota FJ is not small when you see it in person, and it's styling is too cartoonish. This Jimny is 25k cheaper, looks great. Also has a long production heritage, and is small, and off-road agile.

Neighbor’s sedan is in the body shop for a while and he got this Jeep 4xe as a long term rental. Thankfully it’s parked outside.
Dueling fire-related recalls with no fixes available mean it's a bad time to be a 4xe owner www.consumerreports.org/cars/car-rec...
