TIL Dunkin and Krispy Kreme have Brazilian locations.

If I "accidentally" find the perfect car in Goias or São Paulo, well... I might have to bring donuts back.

Please, please, please let Brazil join
The UK, Canada and Australia are considering banning X.

And yet, the progressive movement and Democratic Party still haven’t figured out how to boycott it.

As part of my desire to ensure my home has colors... I've prepared for when I get keys to my house by ordering a custom, burnt-orange couch that is considerably bigger than the car I'm looking at, just so I can live my 70s/80s dream

Today’s annoyance is that the owners of the house we’re acquiring have moved the signing date for the third time, and I’d like to have my own dent in the universe again.

If the house wasn’t so damn perfect, I’d have already told them to insert it in their posteriors, with graphic detail.

This car has @midnightdorifto.bsky.social and/or @hoonofthe.day written all over it.

You can take the redneck out of Tennessee but you can’t take the Tennessee out of the redneck.

Fiat people of Bluesky, what can y'all tell me about the early Palios? (late-90s/early-00s models)

Also, is there even a remote chance of coming across a first-gen Uno (BR spec) with air conditioning?

Maitani was an absolute genius. There’s a good reason the OM-1 and XA are two of my all time favorite cameras. Small, solidly built and can be taken anywhere
One thing about the OM system from a historical perspective that's hard to really appreciate now is just what a radical feat of miniaturization they were. It of course lit a fire under everyone else and by the 80s many SLRs had shrank to match it. But, when it launched, it was notably smaller.

This week's "Cheapest Rental from Localiza" challenge gave me a '25 Fiat Fiorino.

I'm a fan

Cameras are meant to be carried and used, that is all.

Ciao Buenos Aires, gracias por todo.

3 years, 3 months and 23 days later, we’re waving goodbye to Argentina and moving to Rio de Janeiro.

Five more days in Argentina, 17 more days until we get the keys to our house in Rio de Janeiro.

Not that I'm counting or anything.

Alfa is going to a new home this week, and it's bittersweet, though the new owner is a fellow Alfisti.

Next step, deciding what'll replace it when I get to Brasil

Movie you’ve watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Stars (Wars nor Trek), LOTR, or Marvel, Disney Animated or Pixar.

Cheap, minimally online if at all, doesn't spy on you, doesn't have subscriptions or micro transactions, won't be enshittified, you own it, reminds them of simpler times or childhood, modern pop culture is adversarial and alienating

Minor annoyances: Bluesky decided my handle was invalid, despite having verified my domain over a year ago, so I got to go in and reverify.

Stupid, stupid website.

Introduce yourself with 5 cars you’ve owned.

1965 Oldsmobile 98
1992 Dodge Dynasty
1980 Volvo 242 GT
1994 Buick Roadmaster Estate
1988 Mazda RX-7 Convertible

I could’ve also done an all Volvo list, or even an all wagon list, but these were all very influential for me.
Introduce yourself with 5 cars you’ve owned.

1983 Innocenti Mini 1275GT
1969 Dodge Charger 440
1987 BMW E28 535i SE
1998 Lexus LS400
1998 Volvo 940 Turbo estate

I could’ve done a list that was just Volvos but I decided to do one from each of my automotive lives.
Introduce yourself with 5 cars you’ve owned

1972 Alfa Romeo GTV
2001 MINI Cooper
2005 Mercedes A-Class
2009 BMW 330i Touring
2016 Skoda Yeti

A hard choice! I could do another 5 that are just as diverse.
