there is no terror quite like getting stuck in upper-deck traffic on a 100° Summer day, with an air-cooled engine 😅

I would totally consider a manual again, now that I'm back in a small town.

Years of sitting in stop-and-go traffic in Austin made me appreciate an automatic

I've been eye-balling this Dakota in my aunt's apartment parking lot. thinking about leaving a note in case they ever want to sell.

Like so many ppl, I desperately wish they still made light trucks.

silver Dodge Dakota truck, 90's or maybe early 00's, in very good shape, with just some minor paint flaking

I'm boring AF now, we have 2 Altimas 😅

b4 that I had an 06 Jeep Liberty. a weird vehicle... looks like a compact soccer mom SUV, tight steering like a sport coup, and can haul a trailer across the country. I kinda miss it

I mean... I don't know how long your legs are, but you could probably drive it... just not with the top on 😁

I was 6'0" at the time (have lost a couple inches over the years to spinal compression)

I always wanted a Bus or a Thing.. just never found the right one at the right time

my 2nd car was a '74 914, IMO the superior car of that era. the mid-engine gave it near-perfect weight distribution, making it both more fun and safer to drive. it rly hugged the road, crazy how fast you could stay thru curves

an friend of mine had a '72 911T, that he had rebuilt an S engine for. It was fun, but also scary quick and would fishtail if you didn't know how to handle it 😅

Name an Album with Zero Skips.

The Stone Roses - Second Coming

The Stone Roses - Second Coming
album art is a pastiche of distorted and pixelated photographs, mostly of the band, but some of roses and other random things

okay I have to say it... The Dukes of Hazzard. the show is problematic in so many ways, but that song is still a banger.

(also Waylon was a great narrator. a precursor to Morgan Freeman)

LUL this was one of a very small number of VHS tapes I owned as a kid, and so I literally have watched it hundreds of times

I have a consult for my FFS in Seattle on December 5, in the morning, in Seattle. I also have a therapy appointment at noon. I'm hoping there is a kind and generous moot in the city who can provide me a mirror to do my makeup and a private space to do my telehealth therapy. I'll be very grateful.

two days later I was at the Radiohead, Kid A show in Houston, ears still ringing from the Mogwai show.

Yeah Radiohead can fuck off now, but they were truly great for a while 🤷‍♀️
