A guy from New Jersey who likes weird old cars. I’ve recently been around on Mastodon but checking it out here.
The coffee at the Dunkin in the NJ Turnpike Rest Stop where I charge my car once a week is served ridiculously hot. I want to drink a coffee while my car charges but it’s done charging by the time the coffee cools down.
First world problems.

I seem to have been put on a very specific scam list for people who have been trying and failing to get an EV charger installed for 2 1/2 months.

My wife found a loft bed for my daughter on Facebook marketplace. We had to go to someone’s house, disassemble it, carry it down narrow stairs and we paid $80 for it. The owner drank tea and listened to the radio as we worked.
The bed is fine, but I still feel like I got played.

Over two months and I’m still charging this thing with a 25ft extension chord sticking inelegantly out of the garage.
And it’s kinda fine.
I can drive about 400 miles a week either by making one 20 minute fast charger stop or taking a different car to work one day a week.

There is a pretty great story in the latest Hagerty magazine where the author made a sight unseen 3rd party purchase of a 1982 Rolls Royce.
It went about as well as you imagine

All the techno-fascist and their boot lickers thought they had the perfect trojan horse of "anti-woke / anti-trans" propaganda to literally take over the country.

As impressions and reviews start to trickle in about the Polestar 4, I can't get over how it's being called a "coupe-like crossover."
It's just a sedan. I've sat in one not for one second did I think I was in a crossover.

Volvo 760 Diesel with M46 manual transmission sitting in my friend’s body shop yard freshly painted.
It had been sitting inside a different body shop for 20 years that shop shut down, so they brought it to Mike.

When people ask me how I lost so
much weight I’ll pretty openly tell them “Zepbound”.
That often brings up a concerned “but you can’t be on that forever..” to which I have to politely dodge. Because as long as it proves medically safe I’d happily be on it forever.

Today I learned my Polestar has some sort of cloud based warning system where other Polestar and Volvo vehicles will send out a warning of slippery road conditions or a vehicle with its hazards on, that warning will then be displayed on my dash if I'm close. 🤷♂️

Halloween is pretty great around here. Just immaculate vibes. Literal trainloads of kids come into town, many from poorer neighborhoods plenty of candy for everyone. Smiles and happiness everywhere.
