Whelp the ole daily caught fire in the work parking lot today. After holding my head in my hands for a while, I ripped out all the melted vacuum hoses, capped the nipples at the manifold, and was still home in time for lunch. The damn poltergeist of a minivan runs better after catching fire

My mom really saw this shirt at Walmart and said “Ayup. My fruity autistic son will love this.”

Anyone want to burn through a case of PBR and look at my cool ass car with me?

Me when I see my neighbor pull out of his driveway in the 1982 Mercedes 240d sedan that’s been abandoned with a for sale sign for at least 6 years (he bought it before I had a chance)

Got to drive a 1998 Saab 9000 CSE last weekend. It was incredible. So smooth and tight compared to any other comparable shitbox I’ve driven. I want it so bad and it’s for sale at a really low price point but I have to be “financially responsible”

My third car I miss the most. My ‘84 Subaru GL wagon. It was the FWD model but still excellent in snow and light off-road conditions. I went pretty far back on forest service roads when I became homeless and spent some time living in the natural forest.

The DeSoto pictured in my last post was my first car. My second was this ‘95 shitbox Saturn. It had a 1.9L DOHC four cylinder with a five speed transaxle. I spent a lot of time ripping through the canyons late at night like a dumbass with this thing. I took it all the way to northern Washington

Been wanting to get to work on this guy for a long time. Easter 2024 was the last time I had her on the road, and just for a neighborhood jaunt at that. I’m hoping someday in the near future I can pull the engine, replace all the original expansion plugs that keep failing, and repaint the block

I’ve always wanted to make jewelry but never had the tools or someone to teach me. Today, Olives and I had the opportunity to take a lesson from an experienced jeweler who specializes in talismanic jewelry. I made the ring on the top, Olives made the ring on the bottom, both set with amber

This could possibly improve downforce in the front end and reduce the possibility of going airborne due to high pressure zones under the front end of the vehicle, much like the front end aero of a Ford GT40

The challenge here would be finding a good location for an intercooler since the sub compact mid engine design really doesn’t have any spare room for one on either end

Perfect weather to gaze with yearning eyes at the solemn snow-dusted trees while listening to Franz Schubert’s 1828 masterpiece “Wintereisse”
